Chanting “USA†at a football game is now offensive to Muslims
Liberals are the most sensitive people on the face of the planet. So we must – absolutely must – do everything we can to assure that these delicate lovers of peace are not offended by any of our words or actions.
The Daily Illini carried this editorial by a pointy-headed academic and we break our normal rules by carrying it in full in hopes that you can learn the error of your jingoistic ways:

The overwhelmingly white, privileged, Block-I students should be ashamed of their obnoxious, fake-macho, chicken-hawk chant, while poverty-drafted members of their cohort fight and die in illegal and immoral wars for the control of oil. University administrators need to eliminate from all events such “patriotic†observances, which in this country cannot be separated from implicit justifications for state-sponsored killing.

What's David Green's DU name?

I'm waiting for some lefty to claim that flying the American Flag promotes racism. Haven't they done something similar in other Dhimmi countries?

The true Koran or Quran I am sure says football is of the infidels. Screw them.. :bird:

Well, what do you know, Alvin Greene's long lost DUmber brother.

David, stand up like a man, and tell the troglodytes to shut up, in person...

I dare someone to tell me not to chant out USA, wear the crucifix around my neck or wear clothing with the American flag on it. That should be a fun showdown for sure! :-)

Well, I know what I'm doing at the next football game I attend (eastern Washington and Northern Arizona are right around the corner). :fuelfire:

Hey Dave, go eff yourself...or off yourself, that'd be okay too.

That would work well when the Medina Hookers play the Mecca eunuchs.

A fantastic response in the Daily Illini:
Stadium is perfect place for veterans’ recognition (http://www.dailyillini.com/opinions/letters-to-the-editor/2010/09/21/stadium-is-perfect-place-for-veterans-recognition)
David Green says Block-I students should be ashamed of their militaristic display and that athletic planners shouldn’t exploit football games for political purposes. I think Green needs to return to reality.
Is he aware that the Morrill Act of 1862 granted federal land for public universities like Illinois to teach agricultural and mechanical arts “including military tactic� Green was likely aware that he was in Memorial Stadium (though that may be giving him too much credit). But did he know that the stadium is so named because it memorializes the Illinois veterans who gave their lives in World War I and II, or that the moniker “Fighting Illini†is a reference to those Illinois veterans of World War I?
What Green seems to forget, what most veterans — and I’d like to think those Block-I students — know, is that everyone in the stadium that day was “privileged†because of the sacrifices of men and women who paid the ultimate price for love of their country. Green should be ashamed that he painted such patriots as “poverty-drafted,†as if they fought not by choice, but from lack of economic opportunities. Those patriots died because they loved their country, and so we can proudly chant, “USA, USA!†All the more appropriate in a stadium that recognizes their sacrifice.
As John Stuart Mill wrote in 1862, “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.
The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.†If Green’s idea of patriotism means nothing is worth fighting for, he probably shouldn’t return to Memorial Stadium. After all, it simply enshrines a history of “state-sponsored killing.†In fact, if I were David Green, I’d stay as far away from Block-I as I could.

That was good. I'm glad that was written by Chad Garland, senior in LAS and President of Illini Veterans Student Organization. I'd buy him a beer for sure! :cheersmate:

That's exactly what I was going to say.
If it's offensive, don't attend or watch the game on television. Problem solved.
