Reply #11: Don't blame football!

[LisaM]

Blame the people who think the military should be mixed up with sporting events (and this is not limited to football). I've had to suffer color guards, flyovers, you name it, at a multitude of sporting events and I HATE it, even though I love sports.

I read this story and I was appalled. I am from a small town, and while they might have played the game with a non life threatening injury, even if it were to a player, they would have discontined use of a cannon if it was dangerous (not that they would have had it to begin with).

I am guessing it's some small group of bullies doing this. Although, I have to admit, when I read this story, it seemed really strange that no one in the town seemed to be coming to his defense. That seemed highly unlikley to me, because I've been to Snohomish and it doesn't seem like this is the kind of place this would happen.
