I've heard all the million dollar cry baby arguments. I haven't heard any that did the math that equivocates a public ritualistic loyalty test not related to the task at hand (the game) and disrespect for military personnel.

You're saying you can't express it, but Twitter tweets can articulate the nuance better?

How is this in any way "math"?

Remember this BS from a couple of years back?

Amid all of this symbolic and emotional expression of patriotism, critical thinking is rarely encouraged. Out of concern for American troops being sent to the Middle East to die, for example, one could seek out information on the underlying reasons for strife in the region—an intellectual journey that would go back at least a century and reveal an array of colonialism, western-backed coups, and exploitation—but this is much more difficult than slapping a magnet on one’s car, and it might lead one to question the wisdom of militaristic policies that benefit from blind patriotism.

This aversion to facts is a defining characteristic of modern American patriotism. As Americans wave their flags and puff out their chests with national pride, they are oblivious to facts relevant to their own civil discourse. Only 35 percent of Americans could name even a single justice on the Supreme Court, according to the New York Times. The same piece revealed that 30 percent could not name the vice president, while even fewer could place the American Revolution in the correct century. It only gets worse when we ask Americans to consider facts outside their own borders. Reports show that as many as 85 percent cannot locate Iraq on a map and more than half can’t locate India.


This staggering lack of knowledge, combined with a blind and emotional patriotism, is a formula for disaster. The result is a proliferation of uninformed American exceptionalism that is akin to a social narcissism, a self-centered sense of importance and superiority that can have dire consequences.

Someone is trying to make an equivalency between a ritualistic pre-game loyalty test to a necessary respect for military personnel, dead in battle, or still alive taking orders.

If this is true, then it should be as easy to explain as 2 + 2.

You've already told us it's not so easy to explain.

I would agree. Probably because the equivalency if faith-based. As a faith, perhaps the players should be allowed to stay in the locker room and express their faith privately, instead of forcing them into a ritualistic public display of loyalty test.
