Were you at the game today? When they called a timeout with 59 seconds left,
I tried to get a "False Hope!" chant started in section 308, but everyone
had already left.
And what was with the stoppage in the middle of the game to sing "God Bless
America"? And with the request to remove caps for it? I mean, it was
certainly patriotic and all, but you're only supposed to remove your cap for
the National Anthem, not for every unofficial patriotic song. Not meaning
any disrespect or anything, but it's analogous to disposing of a red, white,
and blue ribbon bunting according to the Flag Code.
