"But what makes this sort of thing so disingenuous is that fans assume NFL teams are thanking soldiers out of genuine appreciation for their service. In these cases, they were getting paid for it: it was advertising, disguised as gratitude. It's a lot like a news outlet running an ad as an article without any sort of disclaimer."

So these teams were happy to let their fans think they were "good guys" by not acknowledging that these tributes were paid advertising? Nice.
