War Imagery Still Gone from the NFL

Posted on 20:00 by Unknown

Hell of a ground game

In an update to what is an old story at this point, Les Carpenter at the Washington Post writes about the disappearance of war imagery in the NFL. You know, trench warfare, field generals, death marches, things of this nature. Two wars going on and all, wouldn't be prudent, gotta support the troops.

And while this is not news in general to generational football fans, it is not news in specific to readers of The Curly R. We covered this exact story one year ago when Redskins fans learned that then rookie safety LaRon Landry writes SUICIDE MISSION on his body before every game, as he has since high school, placed in the context of the Gulf War Super Bowl.



Army formation from here.
