booing at the game
So as I was watched the NFL Season Opener on NBC last night, Pittsburgh vs. Miami in Pittsburgh, they announced that in honor of all the troops serving overseas Martina McBride was going to sing the National Anthem. What happened next? The stadium was overwhelmed with booing. I was in total shock!! Ok not to get into my politics or anything, but honestly that was AWFUL. How on earth can you boo the men and women who are fighting in wars! You might not agree that there should be a war, but there is NO EXCUSE to boo the people serving in it. NO EXCUSE. You don't know their circumstances! Many of them may not have had any choice in the matter! The army puts kids through college so they can get higher-learning, they didn't expect to have to fight in a war that is being called the next Vietnam War. It was so disrespectful and those thousands of people who booed that night should be ashamed of themselves. As a civilian not serving in any military capacity, i know i was embarressed.
