Department of Defense paid millions for NFL teams, including Bills, to honor vets

Money would have been much better f***ing spent if it was used to actually fix the VA.

It is ridiculous that any team is compensated for paying tribute to the military. It should be a priority to organizations at this level to pay tribute to the people sacrificing to allow them to continue to flourish in this country.

With that said, overall I am glad they have created this marketing scheme, because it has brought the military into the living rooms and put it in front of people every Sunday who take it for granted, and that is positive.

As far as the VA bashing, I swim in health care both federal and private, and they are ALL f***ed up, and if you think it otherwise, you are uninformed.
(Not just you Neugey, there are several bashings in this thread, I just tagged yours first)

WTH? marketing scheme? I can not go there as a justifiable explanation for this level of disrespect and greed.

not bashing any one here but i need to make a point.

that catch phrase, marketing scheme, ticks me off to no end when attached to soldiers that have served to protect these millionaires and their way of life.

A marketing scheme to say thanks to soldiers that risk life and limbs?

If you have to get paid to show your respect to these men and women for all they have risk for you then are no patriot and you deserve to have your ass kicked

This has completely tarnished all the NFL has said to be doing for our vets. What other covered up kick backs do we not know about. Is this the reason why the NFL gave up their tax exempt status?

nope this will never sit right with me ethical or morally.

This is the icing on the cake IMO Roger is the biggest disgrace in the history of the NFL. I hold Ray Rice in higher regards than Roger Stokoe Goodel.

Roger Stokoe Goodel is a snake in the grass that would sell his own mother if there was a penny to made. Same goes for the owners that took the money. patriots my a$$

ok i will ask myself one more time
