I was talking with the brother the other day, and he expressed a bit of annoyance at the fact his college was playing the Army. His main reason was that it wouldn't "feel right" yelling "F*** Army". I found this amusing.
So, one reason not to go is that you can't properly insult the army/navy/whatever team.
A second- these guys are counted as active duty in the military. I'm not real sure if they have to do real work later or not, but I do know that tax payer dollars are paying for them to play football.
Third reason- exactly how in the h*ll does a bunch of guys catching a football help with national security?! Am I missing something here? Is Al Queda going to show up tomorrow with some jersey's and say "first team to fifty wins?"
Please post your own reasons & complaints about the military having sports teams....I'll round them all up and do a blog with your answers!!
