What an eclectic group of items. Is this a word association, a random word generator, a spastic man with torrets spewing out four words that are unrelated. Of course not. How much fun would that be? Some folks can maybe see where I am going with this pretty easilly I bet, but others will stop reading shortly., if I dont get to the damn point already.
Let me start by offering the definition of hat as listed by websters: a shaped covering for the head, usually with a crown and brim, esp. for wear outdoors. Easy enough and seems clear cut, but . . . . I pose the question to y'all is are doo-rags and bandanas hats? I would say they both of these things loosely fit the definition above since they are shaped coverings for the head. The stipulation about the crown and brim are optional as I read it.
This leads into the real rant. If these items fit the definition of a hat why not take the off during the nation anthem. The contextof this rant comes on the heels of the superbowl. While listening Billy Joel sing the national anthem I noticed countless players wearing 'hats'. Are you so worried about your hair that you dont want to remove the little black piece of fabric sitting on your head, or perhaps these are not hats in your mind. None the less - they are and should be removed.
Moving past those atheletes, we ahve the fans. The people that can't be quiet, or sing along, for 2:34 of repesct for our country and everything we represent. Why would you talk. Is something that pressing? STFU and listen to the words that represent our country!
