That’s according to a report discussed Monday by the crew on “Fox & Friends,” who were clearly irate with the news.
The “Fox & Friends” crew appeared to be irate about this while discussing it:
“Most of the time when you see these great ceremonies take place at the games — the flag comers out, we’re saluting our veterans and soldiers — you think ‘this is a great move by the teams to do this,’ We think they’re doing it on their own. It turns out they’re actually billing — billing — our military,” Elisabeth Hasselbeck
“$5.4 million over three years — most of it coming from the National Guard, I think there’s just this bad taste about it,” he added. “You didn’t know they were being paid for it.” Bret Baier
