This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

What are we fans supposed to do during the prayer? by Dan93
Should we cheer, stand silently, join in? It's odd to have that shown to us. I decided to remove my hat and mumble the words to myself. Everyone around me seemed to look around curiously because it's presented so oddly. We are a Catholic school and if they would have a priest lead the stadium in a brief prayer around the time of the national anthem, that would seem fine. But to have the PA announcer say, "And now we take you to the lockerroom for the Notre Dame team prayer!" and then have a private moment shown on the video board is very strange.
