The NFL looked like a true patriotic organization when they decided to honor the troops during halftime performances. Later it was revealed that 14 teams were paid by taxpayer-funded tributes, that is, $5.4 million dollars from the Department of Defense went to NFL teams so they could hold military ceremonies. This despite the fact the NFL earned revenues of $9.5 billion dollars. Appreciation for our military only if they pay, nothing patriotic about it. <ref>[http://www.ijreview.com/2015/06/338958-john-mccain-delivers-fiery-speech-nfls-military-fraud/ Senator John McCain Delivers Fiery Speech Against the NFL’s Military Appreciation Fraud, Independent Journal]</ref>
