Dem Congresswoman Wants to Stop Military Sponsorship in NASCAR

Among other sports and recruiting activities:

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum, who has spent months trying to eliminate military sponsorship of NASCAR, is expected to introduce an amendment to next year’s Pentagon appropriations bill that would reduce money going to advertising for motor sports, fishing, wrestling and ultimate-fighting events.

While the congresswoman is intent on eliminating military money in NASCAR, the sport is widely noted as being one of the most ardent supporters of the troops and considered a good place to engage potential recruits.

That amendment's going nowhere. I'm sure the military understands the value of sports sponsorship and the contact they make with potential recruits.

This isn't just a way for Congress to reduce spending, it's an attack on Red America which is well represented by NASCAR.  And a direct shot at the military, which apparently is not well liked by McCollum.
