NC is a huge military state with a lot of bases and a lot of retired military personnel. Plus the Panthers play
in Bank of America Stadium.

I'm not surprised they are sell outs to the MIC.

Proud to see the Saints that remained seated.

It's part of their recruitment advertising budget. They pay for the anthem to be played, too.

It's all propaganda, and in the end, it's us that are being played.
