It gets more ludicrous every day. Even Keith Olbermann is outraged over the banning of the FDNY caps at the Mets game! When I saw US Open champ Novak Djokovic wearing such a cap last night, I thought how ironic it was that a man born in Serbia would feel more patriotic and heartfelt about 9/11 than many Americans, including Joe Torre, of all people! Baseball was very important in the days following September 11, 2001, and everyone became more patriotic, even singing "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch. What has happened?
Marilyn Penn comments on how 9/11 has been intentionally diminished: "For this tenth anniversary we have directives from the White House urging that at federal commemorations of 9/11, nationalistic pride (patriotism) be downplayed in favor of recognizing the international victims of terrorists. Imagine extending Veterans Day to honor the fallen of other nations in addition to our own."
