NFL teams paid $5.4 million by defense department | Local News - WCVB Home
Advertising maybe, but the "warm feelings" go to the teams and their billionaire owners. 
I had no clue these "tributes" were bought by .... me! 
And the funding our troops DON'T receive!
I'm sick of using our military/police/firemen as backdrops so politicians can sneak political gifts to massively rich donors. 
No money goes to "teams". 
It goes directly into the pockets of the owners. 
Clear example of "Pay to Play"!
As uber-moron Biden has gushed, this is a big fucking deal. 
It exemplifies the moral and political corruption that has metastasized throughout our country.

NEW YORK —The next time you see an NFL team pause to honor members of the National Guard, you way want to question if they had to pay for their appearance. 

The New England Patriots are not among the teams.

U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake, a Republican representing the state of Arizona, called the Jets out specifically, for what he described as "federally funded feel-good moments" the New Jersey Army National Guard actually paid for.
The Jets agreement with the National Guard included a Hometown Hero segment, in which the team featured a soldier or two on the stadium big screen, announced their names and asked the crowd to thank them for their service. 

The soldiers and three friends were given seats in the Coaches Club for the game.

While the Jets may have received the most amount of attention from Sen. Flake, they aren't the only NFL team receiving money from the Department of Defense.
