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 together with more workers to set up more tents. Probably a propaganda thing to make things look less bad and the journalists where pushed into including the detail as a lighter note.
