The win by the Dallas Cowboys over Washington on Monday Night Football was not an easy contest to watch, unless you are a fan of defenses looking good largely because the offenses are struggling. But if you were watching the beginning of the coverage, there was something going on that, while mentioned, was not explained really well. I'm taking a little bit of a break from my normal Cowboys-centric worldview to share what I found out about this after the game.
During the national anthem, the announcers mentioned that there were 12 World War II veterans on the sidelines being honored to recognize the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
