Fox NFL Duo Rip Military Jet Flyovers On Hot Mic, Say Biden Would Stop Them

[marmar]

A hot mic exchange between two Fox sports announcers managed to grab a share of the NFL spotlight over the weekend, and their off-camera chat wasn’t about X’s and O’s. (Check it out below.)

Joe Buck and former star quarterback Troy Aikman zeroed in on a military jet flyover at a mostly empty Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, before the host Buccaneers played the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The banter got political, too.

“That’s a lot of jet fuel just to do a little flyover,” Aikman commented.

“That’s your hard-earned money and your tax dollars at work!” Buck replied.

“That stuff ain’t happening with Kamala-Biden ticket, I’ll tell you that right now, partner,” Aikman said. ............(more)

4. Aikman has always been a Repig. I remember him penning an editorial crticizing European countries...

.... for opposing the Bush invasion of Iraq.

3. Yeah he is a diehard Trumper. That is common Trumper language.

"Kamala-Biden" that is. (Replied to the wrong post)

5. To I say GOOD

We don't need a bunch of fly-overs at football games. It's a waste of time and advances militarism. I am not anti-military, my son is an Air Rescue Swimmer in the USN, but just as I don't want to see tanks rolling down our streets like often happens in an authoritarian parade nor do I need to see jets at football games. It serves no purpose other than as military propaganda.

And given Aikman is a low tax guy, I find it interesting he has no issue pissing away tax money on dog and pony shows like this. NO, it's not a ton of tax money in the grand scheme of things, but principally he should be opposed to this since it does not "promote the general welfare".

In the end, he like most Republicans are hacks and have no principles. Big Government is GOOD as long as it is the part of government that shows force or power, is aggressive or destructive.

7. Nothing more than a recruiting tool

No different from air shows featuring the Blue Angels, Thunderbirds or Army Golden Knights.

8. Most pointed NFL military flyover comment came from Mike Carlson, American who works on UK TV

"Strange how they can time a stadium flyover to the second, but can't tell the difference between a wedding and a terrorist gathering"
