Everything. If it wasn't for a military there'd be no sports.they're not promoting military, they are thanking them with honoring their efforts. that isn't promoting. sorry fella.
You want to distinguish between "company" and "business" to slither out of this? Based on what, whether they "make" something?
This just in --- any company or business can be engaged in either a product or a service. Entertainment could be considered either; in the abstract it's certainly spoken of as a product.
NFL (MLB, etc) are profit-making ventures: "businesses" a/k/a "companies" as that's how they're structured. If little Timmy sells lemonade on the street he's operating a business, not a company, but long before you get to the level of NFL you're a "company" as well.
Now on to Thing Two -- "it doesn't promote military, it recognizes them"
Inasmuch as there is no -- Zero --- none --- relationship between a jingo war-song exercise and a football game, there is nothing to "recognize". It's something that was NEVER PRESENT until NFL plunked it in there. And it does that and similar exercises for profit ... profit taken from your tax dollars Bubba. Profit dictated there by the same MIC war machine that generates the wars that follow.
So the answer stands --- NFL is a ready example of a company (or "businesss") that is "all ra ra [sic] pro-military". It can't be denied especially when it's injecting paid advertising into a theater where thousands of people gathered, NONE of whom came to see Jingo Jangles.
What the fuck does 'the military' have to do with a fucking sports event?
Hm?
IN WHAT WAY did 'the military' make that sports event possible? Hm? How does a massive robotic singing of "Jingo Balls, Jingo Balls, Jingo all the way" affect how the ball travels or how points are scored? Hm? If you played a football (baseball, whatever) game without a national anthem, would it not count?
Hm?
Tell ya what Sprinkles --- go to some war-torn country engaged in civil war where which nation is in control of a particular area is not at all settled ---- and you'll find sports going on. Because it's a diversion from all that shit.
So the example STANDS, whether you're personally butthurt about what the answer is, or not.
Explain.
Explain how people were playing baseball during the Civil War. Explain how all those football, baseball, etc games took place before Jingo Balls started being played in front of them, the first instance of which (baseball) was sometime after the 1918 World Series. Did all those games before that just ----- not happen? Did all those NFL games before it started running out the same puppet show just ---- not happen? HOW were they able to do it?you really can't be this naive. my first inclination is to just fking laugh at you. but since there are rules here, let me explain it to you. many things in this world would be soooo much different had the civil war been won by the south. SOOOOOOOOO MANY THINGS. you really can't be that stupid.
The war of 1812 as well. any war in fact. name one and had it turned out differently you may not even be on this message board. you really can't be that fking naive. People sacrificed for your dumb ass.
I didn't even bring up the Civil War or any other war except as a time marker.
Wassamatta? Can't handle the question? Again that question was: Explain how people were playing baseball during the Civil War. Explain how all those football, baseball, etc games took place before Jingo Balls started being played in front of them, the first instance of which (baseball) was sometime after the 1918 World Series. Did all those games before that just ----- not happen? Did all those NFL games before it started running out the same puppet show just ---- not happen? HOW were they able to do it?
Cue crickets.
