It is getting more and more difficult to simply sit down on the weekend and watch a little football for entertainment. In fact, it has become an exercise in the display of nationalism and war. I thought it was just a game?
This past weekend was playoff weekend, but one would have thought it was designed by the State. All are prompted to praise the nation, the military, the flag, and war instead of enjoying an afternoon of mindless fun. Today, sporting events are used as a stage for state propaganda and nationalist worship.
Each game began with the cameras panning all the uniformed military on the field and in the stands. Pictures and video of soldiers around the globe took center stage. This happened before and during the game. Then, a most detestable practice takes place, that being the unveiling of a disgusting 100 yard long flag; a symbol of a nation state full of slaves.
Then the celebratory national anthem was next. Of course all stood like good little citizens, most with their hat in one hand, and their other hand over their heart. A more pathetic display would be difficult to imagine. Only people who act as sheep could all in unison display the exact same behavior on cue. No independent thinking or individual thought need be involved when simply doing as expected is easier.
When the teams take the field, each and every player on all 32 teams has a U.S. flag stitched to his uniform. As the anthem is played, the players all look somber and mindful of their orders to respect the moment. Hitler would be very proud to see such nationalistic behavior by the masses of society.
I’ll pass thank you, on this display of weakness and idiocy.
