Misc Today's halftime show - Page 8

**luv** · 11-06-2011, 05:40 PM

Did they show or say anything about today's halftime?

It was Armed Forces recognition day. During halftime, there was the family of a soldier who is overseas. His wife, two young children, and his parents were midfield, and the wife had a mic in her hand. They brought him up on the jumbotron, and he was in the middle of saying something (love you, miss you, etc). She, of course, was trying not to cry. The the video feed started shorting out. The announcer came back on to say that they were experiencing technical difficulties. Then, the sections by the tunnel started cheering, causing everyone to look over. Everyone started cheering when they saw it was him running out of the tunnel. His kids saw him and ran toward him. They showed his wife, who was crying. I started crying just watching it all unfold. Getting teary eyed now just thinking about it. It was really awesome.

The entire family were either surprised or great actors, including the kids. I thought it was cool, and I hadn't seen it done. It's commonplace, so shame on me for being moved. Pile on me for being an idiot, not on veterans.

I don't think you're an idiot

...unless you're a veteran, that is.

What a dick putting her on the spot like that. How is she supposed to say no if she wanted to in front of the millions and millions of Royals fans that were watching.

You know who was a veteran?

Hitler.

Yep. Because I'm the guy in this thread talking about boxing and wrestling and wanting to fight people.

I'm definitely the person in this thread that's trying to come off as "tough".

You think KC Wolf will come out of the tunnel carrying her while her parents are on the 50 yard line?

Check their shirt for medals and dried drool. If they're both there, you'll know.

Ok, back to the topic at hand. If you all are just suggesting that the halftime deal is too forced or fake, fine. But if this doesn't at least bring a lump in your throat, I would have to question your humanity.
