Falls into the category that any publicity is good publicity? These politicians need to get over themselves.
"Disheartened.
That’s the word Tennessee state Rep. Dave Wright (R-Knoxville), an Army veteran and University of Tennessee alumnus, used to describe his reaction to UT canceling its 2022 football game against Army.
I’ll take it a step further.
Yes, UT’s decision to replace Army with an easier opponent — Akron — for its Sept. 17, 2022, game is disheartening.
It’s also dishonorable and shameful.
And it shows how far Tennessee football has fallen that it chickened out of playing a service academy.
It’s even more disgraceful when you consider that the 2022 Congressional Medal of Honor Society Convention will occur that week in Knoxville."
