I’m sorry but what and why the fuck is this in there?

Ms. Noem’s visit came 20 years after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth served at the base as a young officer with the New Jersey National Guard, his first deployment.

In a newsletter for the detention operation staff, Mr. Hegseth, then a second lieutenant, predicted that the New England Patriots would triumph at the Super Bowl. “Tom Brady knows how to win,” he was quoted saying in a feature. “He’s the next Joe Montana.”

New England defeated Philadelphia, 24 to 21.

  Its just after they mention cheerleaders arriving for the annual superbowl tradition at the prison. Probably a propaganda thing to make things look less bad and the journalists where pushed into including the detail as a lighter note.
