EXPOSED: Yankees Broadcaster SLAMS Military Tributes, Says Sports Should AVOID Patriotism

In a stunning display of anti-American sentiment, New York Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay has come out swinging against patriotic displays in sports, declaring he's "uncomfortable" with honoring military heroes and having Team USA athletes promote patriotism during broadcasts.

Kay's remarks reveal the deep-seated hostility that many in the entertainment and sports media have toward basic American values. While President Trump works to restore respect for our flag and military, media elites like Kay are busy trying to strip patriotism from America's favorite pastime.

"I don't believe that having military speakers or having Team USA athletes preach 'patriotism' is the way to go," Kay reportedly said, dismissing the very Americans who sacrifice everything to defend our freedom.

This is exactly the kind of woke nonsense that real Americans rejected when they overwhelmingly elected President Trump for a second term. While our Commander-in-Chief honors our troops and puts America First, media personalities like Kay apparently think honoring our heroes is somehow problematic.

Another Attack on American Tradition

Kay's comments represent more than just one broadcaster's opinion - they're part of a coordinated leftist assault on American traditions. For decades, baseball has been intertwined with patriotism, from the seventh-inning stretch to honoring veterans between innings.

But the woke mob wants to sanitize sports of any American pride, turning our national pastime into another sterile, globalist entertainment product devoid of the values that made this country great.

Patriots should remember which broadcasters and networks push this anti-American agenda. While President Trump fights to Make America Great Again, media elites are working overtime to make Americans ashamed of their own country.

It's time for Yankees fans - and all Americans who love this country - to demand better from the people calling our games. Sports should celebrate America, not apologize for it.

I'm boycotting until the Yankees take action. This is completely unacceptable.

As a Gold Star mother, these tributes honor my fallen son's sacrifice. How dare anyone suggest we should hide our patriotism and gratitude for those who died for our freedom!

Baseball and patriotism have gone hand in hand since the Civil War era. This woke nonsense needs to stop - sports ARE supposed to bring us together as Americans.

This is exactly what's wrong with modern sports media - they hate America and everything we stand for. Bring back the days when announcers respected our flag and military.

Does anyone know which specific broadcaster said this? I want to make sure I never support any network that employs them.

I've been going to Yankees games for 30 years and the military tributes are always the most moving part. These leftist broadcasters are completely out of touch with real Americans.

Sports without patriotism? That's not American sports, that's communist propaganda. Our veterans deserve every tribute they get and more!

This is absolutely disgraceful! Honoring our military heroes at baseball games is what makes America great. If this broadcaster doesn't like it, maybe they should find another country to live in.

Couldn't agree more. My son served two tours in Afghanistan and those tribute moments mean everything to military families.
