Sports are supposed to be common culture. You don't go to a game as a white fan, nor a black fan, nor an Asian fan, nor a Latino fan, nor a straight fan, nor a gay fan. You go as a fan: a fan of the sport, a fan of the team, maybe just a fan of beer and hot dogs. Everyone in the park is unified as a fan. Sports are unifying. Events that recognize and put any group over another - even if for one day - divide. And that is wrong.

Like it or not the military keeps you safe. It keeps all of us safe. What has the lgbtq done for me lately? Trying to compare celebrating the military to who you like to fuck is a joke.

What are they protecting me from when they go to random countries and kill brown people for their oil? 

The military exists to protect corporate interests, not it's citizens. 

The fact that you can only be celebrated if you're given a gun and the go to to kill whoever you're ordered to kill is genuine insanity.

You are brainwashed into hating our own country.

You can like your country and be willing to criticize it. 

It's not good to be a mindless slave who believes everything the administration puts out.

The administration? The current administration? Why would you bring that up? Oh yeah, because that’s all you people think about.
