1. I think it's a blatant recruitment tool
of the military.

3. It's just more war porn
Something about two college basketball teams playing on a weapon of war that has caused death and destruction around the globe just doesn't sit right with me.

I'm sure ESPN and the media heads will call it a "spectacular event" and a great "tribute to the military."

Whatever. To me, it's just more war porn and this constant pro-MIC brainwashing by the media and the talking heads is a major reason why we are in the predicament we're in today.

4. Sounds like it should be cool. The court certainly looks awesome.
I see we already have people out "tsk tsk'ing" it but I think it is very nice for a Veterans Day Thank You to the troops.

5. Oh good, on the bin Laden death ship too.
I'm surprised they don't use Qaddafi's head for the football.

8. I'll watch it as an MSU fan, as always.
It may be a military recruitment tool, but I'm still looking forward to it.

11. Why?
To watch him suck up to war and the military?

Contrary to what I believe in.
