What piqued my interest was why was Trump there instead of Biden? Usually the sitting POTUS is the main dignitary, so where was Joe, catching rays on the Delaware beach?
He is not the President, as noted by his early inauguration and funeral salute. I believe that indicated JRB was already dead. So this has all been a movie, a play, or a psyop, whatever you want to call it. The CIC/future President of the Republic attended.
It's tradition. They have never had names on them, only "Army" or sometimes "Duty, Honor, Country”. It's because everyone on the roster plays for the team, not for themselves. The names are on the front of the jersey just like they are on the uniform. Also during the Army vs Navy game they always wear a patch on the sleeve honoring a division. One year it was the 82nd Airborne. A few years ago it was the 10th Mountain Division, this year they were wearing the "Screaming Eagle" patch honoring the 101st Airborne.
Btw, Army isn't the only team that doesn't have player names on the jersey. Notre Dame, Penn State and USC don't have the names on the jerseys either. Traditionally no colleges put names on the jersey. Sticking to the tradition is the reason some school still don't do it.
Now.. Was it always, or just in the Central Bank era?
We definitely always advocated sports as good for creating strength and regal fluidity, but they certainly don’t do the latter now, and did we always have so much preoccupation with professional sports? I rather doubt it.
I know they both existed, and were played in colleges, but were they widely watched and central to culture as professional institutions?
How important to the culture at large was college football at the time, rather than how much they tell us about it now? When did people start discussing who the greatest quarterback of all time was in bars? When did that become common?
They paid NBA players enough in the 70’s for Walt Frazier to have a wild coat collection, but they didn’t pay them anywhere near what they do now. Actually in the 60’s, a lot of them had to have side jobs as blue collar workers, where ordinary families would actually know the players and hang out with them in places. It was the 80’s when pro athletes started to get paid very handsomely.
Basically I’m wondering what the actual cultural importance was at the time, prior to getting access to the Unlimited Money Machine, versus what they tell us about them now that they’re able, and incentivized, to build their mythos as far back as possible.
Even Pharaoh, after a long day of building the temple at Luxor, would don a pair of Jordan’s and have at some quick 3 on 3 before calculating the next year’s crop plains flooding.
Obviously most of those people don't know much about the Army. It ain't just this year, they have never had names on the jerseys. Although their names are on the front in the same place it is on the uniform.
On a more historic note, Monday is the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Nazi offensive known as the Battle of the Bulge. It began during one of the worst winters in then recent memory. The Army Cadets’ uniforms paid homage to the awful conditions during the battle. The shoulders of their jerseys and the tops of their helmets had the appearance of a coating of snow.
The Bastogne honor was perfect because it was 80 years ago that my late Father in Law was there having fought his way from Italy to making a combat jump in France for Operation Dragoon and then on to The Bulge. He hated cold weather for the rest of his life.
God bless them all! 🪖🇺🇲🙏
I also noticed different patches on the Navy Jersey's..one had an 82nd Airborne Patch and another the Battleship Texas which participated in WWII and has been refurbished.

This affirms CIC status of the attendee. Proof enough?

I think the Academies didn't want to have to discipline all the cadets when they booed the Resident.

That’s a relic I could stand to see come back if sports is going to continue to hold any place in culture, which it hopefully doesn’t.
I highly doubt that, America is a highly sport centric culture for better or worse

True, I could do without the hero worship of sports and Hollywood stars
It was long before 1913.
Football and baseball were national institutions before the Federal Reserve came along.
I know they both existed, and were played in colleges, but were they widely watched and central to culture as professional institutions?

I loved how both Army & Navy honor past history.

And they had a "Bastogne" patch on the front right shoulder.
That's a stretch.... / s
Good one! 😸
ARMY is close to YMCA backwards. or more accurately, mirrored.
