Were playing Cleveland...pfff we’re gonna win easy in that case
November 6th, 2020 at 6:20 PM ^
They'll never see it coming.
November 6th, 2020 at 8:05 PM ^
I hope our bullpen comes through and we score enough runs to win.
November 6th, 2020 at 9:17 PM ^
I dunno we might be in trouble I heard we just lost our pitching coach
November 6th, 2020 at 6:21 PM ^
No Indians in combat - so no headdress/ shirtless look for tomorrow. Cool.
November 6th, 2020 at 6:24 PM ^
Combat uniforms are so fucking stupid. Celebrating the military industrial complex at sporting events, in general, is odd, too, but at least we're somewhat honoring actual people.
November 6th, 2020 at 7:11 PM ^
This.
Tacticool gear is just pudgy suburban dad cosplay accessories and there's even less use for camo on a sports field, where the point is for the players to be seen.
November 6th, 2020 at 8:00 PM ^
God forbid someone thank/salute the military. Be happy you have freedom you do.
November 6th, 2020 at 8:43 PM ^
Personally, I'm waiting for the PPE/Hospital Scrub-themed "Salute to the Frontline Workers" unis.
No, really, I think it would be great.
November 6th, 2020 at 9:10 PM ^
I’m happy for killing Sadam since he had WMD. I’m also happy for blowing up Afghanistan since they had Bin Laden. Finally, I’m happy that the Armed Forces spends so much money marketing uniforms and doesn’t waste it on veteran healthcare.
November 6th, 2020 at 10:26 PM ^
I appreciate your point but you should look up what the Indiana uniform was going to be. That was not a salute to the military, that was a salute to Tiger King.
November 6th, 2020 at 10:40 PM ^
I'll pass on the jingoistic onanism, but you do you.
Which freedoms were under threat and when did the military defend them? Did Mexico invade and try to steal some amendments from a supply depot and we all just forgot about it? The main people that have taken freedoms from the American people have been the military industrial complex, so I'm not sure why you're so figuratively erect over them.
November 7th, 2020 at 9:58 AM ^
Did you "pass on the jingoistic onanism" when Michigan had a Military Appreciation Day last year vs Army?
Ask some veterans what freedoms they protect and say you'll pass on their "jingoistic onanism;" I'd like to see their reaction.
I find it odd that so may have such a negative reaction to a simple to tip the cap to those who serve.
November 6th, 2020 at 11:55 PM ^
Should we also have flyovers at movie theaters? Should we asked to salute at CVS?
It's just pandering.
November 7th, 2020 at 10:31 AM ^
Uh oh. Time to boycott College Gameday. They just showed a guy in uniform cheering for his team.
November 7th, 2020 at 8:31 AM ^
You can thank service men and women without it turning into this weird national military fetish we have, but as a country we've gotten pretty bad at figuring out where that line is. How to tell the difference? Well, let's just say that an alternate jersey, replicas of which are sold for profit at a $120 price tag, are probably on the wrong side of that line.
November 6th, 2020 at 8:42 PM ^
Call me old fashioned, but I think they are celebrating those who serve in the military.
November 6th, 2020 at 11:56 PM ^
Lots of industrial complexes. Is it odd celebrating breast cancer awareness at sporting events like football?
November 7th, 2020 at 7:34 AM ^
So cancel police, and now cancel military? That will work out well for the nation. Might as well call us South Canada.
November 7th, 2020 at 8:47 AM ^
What thread are you reading? I don't see where either was suggested.
November 6th, 2020 at 6:24 PM ^
Over there!
November 6th, 2020 at 6:26 PM ^
November 6th, 2020 at 6:36 PM ^
At least they aren't wearing Chief Wahoo uniforms instead.
November 6th, 2020 at 7:02 PM ^
The Indians were mounting up? This election is getting dark.
November 6th, 2020 at 7:37 PM ^
We can build off this.
November 6th, 2020 at 8:32 PM ^
Are the Indians wearing the mid-70s "all red" uniforms? Either way, if I could drink, I would start drinking now given last week.
November 6th, 2020 at 8:42 PM ^
I’ll drink a two hearted in your honor.
November 6th, 2020 at 8:45 PM ^
Season resets tomorrow. Win convincingly this week and next and we are in good shape.
All of our goals are still in front of us.
November 6th, 2020 at 9:27 PM ^
Do you really believe that? If so, I wish I could.
November 6th, 2020 at 9:31 PM ^
I believe that all of our goals are still in front of us, yes.
Attainable? Ehhh
November 6th, 2020 at 8:51 PM ^
Cheap gimmick anyways. Use that money to fund a program that buys down and out vets groceries and I’d be much happier. We’re struggling out there. Adjusting is hard. We don’t need a “good job,” we need a hand. At least a lot of us. I’ve had 10 suicides in a 500 man unit over 7 years. Real talk.
November 6th, 2020 at 9:37 PM ^
Yes. Yes. And YES!
Everyone talks about having respect and supporting veterans, but do not realize the support that actually could be provided.
Food, mental health, medical care, community support all go a long, long way. Much more than a 60 second “stand for our Vets” moment
November 6th, 2020 at 10:44 PM ^
100% Agreed. If the US spent as much money and effort taking care of veterans as they do trying to convince people that they do, it'd be a much healthier place.
November 6th, 2020 at 11:08 PM ^
Or even better, how about a job! Hire a vet.
November 6th, 2020 at 8:56 PM ^
#thanksbiden.
November 6th, 2020 at 9:19 PM ^
Give em the heater Ricky!
November 6th, 2020 at 9:38 PM ^
Shouldn't the contrast issues been obvious from the start?
I'm sure it was that and definitely not the unanimous public backlash about how bad they look...
November 6th, 2020 at 9:54 PM ^
Boy, will the Indians be surprised to learn that they will have to play ncaa football ?
November 7th, 2020 at 7:35 AM ^
We are playing the Cleveland Indians in football? Sweet! I like our chances but our corners are still going to need help
November 7th, 2020 at 7:36 AM ^
Hey Mike4/Pail Face—
Who are you calling some one “Boy”?
November 6th, 2020 at 11:27 PM ^
Indians!? Indians!? We’re playing Indiana!!!
November 7th, 2020 at 6:44 AM ^
I thought baseball season was over
November 7th, 2020 at 6:53 AM ^
This is the only good news from our football team in over a week.
November 7th, 2020 at 7:40 AM ^
I believe we should take time to honor and recognize the military and the persons who served. Veterans Day falls at the stretch run of the college football season its a nice time to tip your cap and say thank you.
However, since 2001 I'm tired of college football being used as a 4 hour advertisement for America's war machine. There's an appropriate amount of recognition, we've gone WAY past genuine appreciation.
November 7th, 2020 at 10:02 AM ^
That was my first reaction if Michigan wears away whites. Probably was Allen’s game plan all along.
