NFL says players can wear red, white and blue on 9/11

Kudos to the NFL for doing the right thing. Sometimes they can be total asshats about stuff like this, but they got it right this time.


should be mandatory.

No.

Not sure who's on Twitter, but Adam Carriker just posted an awsome tweet about remembering 911, prayers for the families, and leaving it all on the field tomorrow for country and team. A few other Skins seemed really psyched too.

the league can mandate players wearing pink for breast cancer, but not for this? please....

I'm with you on it.

Might as well mandate something for Pearl Harbor, Vietnam, War War II, Korean War, Iraq War I & II.


Breast cancer is a ongoing battle, and claims more lives a year than 9/11 did. That's just one year. Don't compare the two please. I know you guys are all emotional about this, but think.

i think the reason that we take this seriously, is because of how recent it happened, and how football played a part in getting the entire society back on the track of "normal" when it happened. to compare it to wars and battles is ridiculous when this was basically an attack on our views and ideologies, and on us as an entire nation, all while being done right in the countries biggest city, visible to all. very different.

Wrong. Try foreign policy.

They're too smart to fine players for something like that. No way they would've done it, for this is one case where the consequences outweigh the benefits.

Well, from what I've seen the last few seasons, I would not say they were too smart to fine players over this. Frankly the fines have been getting ridiculous over clean hits, players showing deceased players respect (Tilman) etc. Glad they relented on this.

Wrong. Try foreign policy.

You sure about that? How do you explain the many other attacks Islamic extremists commited such as the Luxor Massacre (Primarily Swiss victims), The Qahantaniya bombings (Yazidi victims) etc, The Jordan Wedding Massacre (Jordanian Moslems). Was it their foreign policy?
