Giving You More Than Just My Two Cents
Over The Top Patriotism
Did anyone else find the reading of the Declaration of Independence before the start of the game a little over the top? Or at least wierd?
Sing the National Anthem...correctly mind you, and play friggin ball. Besides Baseball is still America's true pastime
For those of you who missed it:
It was just a wierd thing to me, and a little insulting. I know I'm an American, everyone knows the NFL is this big "American" sports league, I just found it to be kind of shoving it down our throats and a little forced.
Why read the thing before the Super Bowl? To prove how "American" the NFL is? Isn't it enough that they sing America and the Naitional Anthem before the game? Whats wrong with just the National Anthem? Are we that insecure about our patriotism that we have to start reading historic documents? What will they do next year read the Gettysburg Address? Perhaps reading the constitution in full for three hours before the game starts. That ought to bore people to tears....oh wait, the republicans already wasted tax payer dollars doing that earlier this year on the floor of congress.
