The Mojo Maniac Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I would much rather see each team's cap logo filled with camo (as much as I hate it) than each team being shoehorned into a red or navy cap color scheme. Make things awkward for teams like the Giants, A's and Orioles. From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is secondary in the grand scheme of things. Complaining that it interrupts the flow of a game is pretty naive. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

If hoy were going to a military banquet, then baseball would be secondary. It's garbage that everyone has to one up each other with the patriotism. I haven't problem with supporting the troops or honoring those that are deserving, but I fail to see how a commercial event is the venue to do it. Or at least I fail to see why it's de facto mandatory to do so.

Giving a member of the military a moment in the sun, in front of 40,000? I'm okay with that. If you're upset that 10 minutes out of a whole game, or even a whole day, was used in this fashion, then you might want to find a hobby. Smart is believing half of what you hear.

No point in even going back and forth with him.Just because you're not intelligent enough to rationally debate an issue doesn't mean that everyone isn't. I've made a point and explained why I feel that way. An intelligent person will point out why my reasoning is flawed, or submit to my stance. An unintelligent person will resort to dismissing my argument as cynicism. Frankly, I'm not sure why you felt it was your place to enter a discussion that didn't involve you.

WSU151 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 BBTV, do you get pissed off at people who are drinking beer and talking during a game? I mean, they're probably really not there for the baseball...The flaw in your reasoning is that you think a few minutes of a multi-hour game should not be wasted to honor a member of the military. This is baseball we are talking about...where there is no clock. Who the cares? Honestly. A May 5th matinee will be forgotten by most by June. A service member will always remember standing on a field, being applauded by thousands.There's no way you've stewed after a game and thought, "Damn, if we could have just ignored that guy in the military, we would have won, and the experience would have been a billion times better".In the end, it's not about you.

Get over it.I've stated that I don't mind an honor to someone who's deserving. As long as it's not taking away from the reason why I'm there, then fine. But it shouldn't be mandatory. It's not a government function. Nor should anyone be made to feel bad because they didn't honor someone while other teams did. You stated that baseball was secondary. Well, it's not secondary if that's the whole basis for the event that I'm attending. Then it's first, and anything that disrupts that is unwarranted. Does showing someone on camera and them getting ovation disrupt anything? Of course not. But this whole mentality that if you don't salute the troops then you're against them has really gone too far.I'm not sitting here stewing, because at the end of the day, I couldn't care less if you disagree with me, and hell - I may learn something from the discussion if my points are countered and the counterargument makes sense. That's kind of the whole point of discussing something. However I disagree in every way possible with the statement that baseball is secondary at a baseball game. I don't go to baseball games to have a flag shoved down my throat, or see people running around in camo, or to chant USA and get all fired up to go in to the parking lot and punch anyone who doesn't look like a natural citizen. This stuff is nothing more than pandering, and just like I shouldn't be "forced" to wear a flag on my lapel, teams shouldn't feel "forced" or "guilted" in to staging ceremonies for soldiers every single game.You're right - it's not about me. I fail to see how any of this has been about me. If we've reached the part of the discussion where that's all that's left, then I suggest we move on.

That's all you do. The whole FAQ thread scenario where you and Mockba claimed I couldn't handle disagreement didn't even involve you. I answered a question from someone else and then you had to inject yourself into it because of your holier-than-thou, always got to be right attitude. You have to impose your personal beliefs on others and if they disagree, then they're wrong and unintelligent. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they enjoy doing it? You might as well embrace the fact that you are indeed cynical. No reason to argue that. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
