cheap nhl jerseys NFL Getting Away From Use of Mil

[?????]

Only the National Football League will not frame this Super Bowl as a war. The quarterbacks will not be depicted as field generals and the teams won't rely on a devastating ground attack. The players will not walk through the tunnel as gladiators,[url=http://jpdr.bjqinteng.com/plus/feedback.php?aid=140]cheap baseball jerseys The Chat House with Michael[/url], the coaches will not talk about imposing their will on the enemy.
In a little-discussed shift in recent years, the NFL has moved away from depicting its games in military terms. While the league continues to embrace the military as an entity, inviting Gen. David H. Petraeus,[url=http://www.2traders.com/myspace/user/Chinmeng1/blogs]old nba jerseys After 1-3 road trip, Washington Wi[/url], the head of Central Command, to make the Super Bowl's opening coin toss and having the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds perform a pregame flyover at Raymond James Stadium,[url=http://www.orsidelhi.org/images/MLB_NHLjerseys.html]cheap nhl jerseys[/url], the NFL no longer endorses using military terminology to describe its contests.
It is inappropriate, league officials say, to do so at a time when American forces are fighting two wars halfway around the globe.
"It's a matter of common sense," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said as he stood outside the stadium the other day.
The same is true at NFL Films,[url=http://cheapmichaelkors.cnlcz.com]wholesale Michael Kors handbags[/url], an arm of the league that perpetuated for decades the image of football as controlled warfare by producing movies glorifying the game's violence with phrases like "linebacker search and destroy." In recent years the company's president,[url=http://ayf.org.au/wp-includes/nfljerseys_cheap.html]NBA jerseys wholesale[/url], Steve Sabol,[url=http://www.gcwmw.com/E_GuestBook.asp]cheap mlb[/url], ordered all allusions to war be removed from its new films.
"I don't think you will ever see those references coming back,[url=http://www.aokeshen.cn/mlbjerseysonline.html]cheap baseball jerseys[/url]," he said. "They won't be back in our scripts,[url=http://www.orsidelhi.org/images/NHL_NBAjerseys.html]cheap jerseys from china[/url], certainly not in my lifetime."
The sport that once saw itself as the closest thing in athletics to the military no longer holds to this once-cherished notion.
"We're not going to fight no war, man," Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Nick Eason said during pregame festivities this past week before his team's clash tonight with the Arizona Cardinals. A direct contrast to Bernie Parrish, who played cornerback for the Cleveland Browns in the 1960s and said in a hotel lobby here: "We wanted to kill each other. It was mortal combat. We were warriors."
