So now I'm reading that the Packers organization is anti-American, yadda, yadda, yadda because of what was on the field during the anthem yesterday. I've been trying to discover what was going on, but all I'm finding is bitching. I was there and the thing was right in front of me.
First of all, the sound system sucked eggs. I thought it was my hearing so I asked my grandson if he could understand anything that was said. He said, "Nope." So if what the announcer was saying explained the banner/whatever and who was carrying it, we never understood it. The people were just that - people. Old, young, men, women. Just plain people as far as we knew. It wasn't until later I noticed the closed captioning on the scoreboard, but that sucked eggs too.
To me the "whatever" didn't even look that professionally made. So did some group make it to avoid violating U.S. Flag code? Again, I don't know and I can't find any info. But all those people carrying the "whatever" looked very proud and happy to be there, rolling out the "whatever" and holding it.
Cripes, if people needed to look at an actual U.S. flag, look at each side of the scoreboard. Hello.
I'm not looking to start another pissing match, even though I know it's hard for you guys not to get one going. I don't want judgments. I want to know what it was all about. For all we know it could have been the hard work of a very civic minded group and the Packers rewarded them for it. Like I said, all I'm reading about is bitching but no one providing any facts.
There's no way to fit the U.S. flag they have for the field and the entire UW Marching Band.
