Army and Navy met again Saturday afternoon on a snowy field in Philadelphia to play a football game that has been played for over 100 years.
The Army-Navy football game is one of the most storied sports traditions in the country.
This year marks the 118th time the two teams have met. The teams meet in a neutral city between their respective academies. They often play in NFL stadiums due to the enormous number of active duty and veteran fans who wish to attend.
Before the game, the choirs of the Annapolis and West Point academies joined together to sing the national anthem. It was a solemn moment and was made even more beautiful by the falling snow.
Beautiful! They started with a prayer and DIDN’T jazz up the national anthem!
The best of America vs the worst of America. Not a great look for the NFL.
I went to see a Christmas program at my Christian school last night. Jazzy and hip. No thanks! Bye!
One thing became clear to the American people when the NFL players started kneeling. NFL players are a narrow niche and do not represent or reflect the values and nature of the American people. Those brave young people who attend the service academies do.
Amen to that!
Everything about that game was OUTSTANDING......except the final score.
That was terrific, thanks.
I’m oversea and missed it. No decent cable here. But thanks to the internet I’m able to catch a few upstanding clips.
I understand your comment. Feel comforted that it gave me a truly LOL!

Good for you. I’d do the same.
That is a great pre-game video.
Are you military?
Wonderful to see.
I’m a missionary in Kyiv working at a school for missionary children. But the hip, jazzy, cool, irreverent worship has even deeply saturated here. So I’m heading back to the USA in June. There’s a church I’m heading towards that touts expository teaching and reverent worship. That’s for me.
I think DJT would have attended but had that previously scheduled visit to the Civil Rights Museum opening in Mississippi.

PCA. I know of several.
You are to be commended for your work and wise to come home.
I remember how upset my Dad was the first time someone played guitar during Mass.
