NEW YORK - According to insider sources, Major League Soccer (MLS) is planning a 2020 league wide Military Drone Appreciation Day as they expand the influence of the US military into the league beyond camouflage kits, swearing in ceremonies and in-stadium military displays.
“We are a patriotic, beer drinking, AMERICAN league,” stated one MLS insider, “and we plan on exhibiting that patriotism as he honor the silent workhorses of our military that allow us to rain death across the Middle East.”
League plans reportedly include a Salute To Our Drones patriotic display while supporters groups will be instructed to sing America The Beautiful as a General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper circles around the stadium pulling an American flag.
“This is an opportunity for all of us to show how much we support our UAVs in harms way,” stated Billy Harris from Atlanta. “I, for one, hope that they can show us how the targeting system works by using the drone to lock on to a random fan and pretend to destroy one of us for season tickets! That would be amazing.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the league announces this will apply to teams that play in that other country as well.
