We have a small NBA card tonight but continue to run good in the NBA, so we’re going to have all of tonight’s games covered for you.  On a baseball note, see here to view the new Padres camo uniforms. I don’t have much on this topic, other than I think it’s fine for the Padres because they originated this and have stuck with it. Plus, it’s for the obvious reason that San Diego has a definite military presence. However, if other teams start copying this practice, even if it’s once a season, then it starts to become ludicrous. This constant intertwining of sports and military does disservice to the military because it becomes a trite acknowledgement to make everybody feel good. It has nothing to do with really understanding the role of the military in our foreign policy or in society in general. You really want to “support” the troops? Read one of these books: The Good Soldiers or In a Time of War: The Proud and Perilous Journey of West Point’s Class of 2002. Either one of these great books will help the average person understand what it means to be a soldier in this day and age and do much more to helping support the troops then to have pro sports teams wear camo uniforms.
