I buy groceries on Saturday mornings. Usually a lot of the cars in the parking lot have those yellow ribbon magnets. Sometimes they have a bit of text on them. Something like “Support the Troops.”
There’s this one particular ribbon magnet I see sometimes. Not every week, but often enough. It looks like all the other magnets—yellow ribbon, black text—but it doesn’t say “Support the Troops.” It says “Go Hawks.” The Hawks being the local college football team.
I guess you can tell I don’t follow sports much. I hadn’t even heard they’d been playing in Iraq.
