Enjoyed immensely!! I have seen in person several times. None chilling. I agree with you that it is very disrespectful and makes me ashamed. Keep up the good work.
I was a corpsman with the Marines in Vietnam and my grandson is currently serving with the U.S. Marines , thank you for showing this.
You assume that the protocol is known to the nfl players
The Marines should make an announcement prior to their event then treat anyone entering the field as they would at the tomb of the unknown soldier.
I'd like to thank you for the respect that you showed by not interrupting the video to comment. Too many Tubers would talk over or stop and back up. Thank you for the respect.
I am a retired Army Officer, and there should be no one on the field while they are performing. Total disrespect!
except maybe the camera team that need to take pictures. And I am a Marine saying that.
Thank you sir for your service
Maybe a little 'threatened' taking a little of their 'thunder'?
Thank you for your service!
I think certain behaviors that were taken for granted back in my day are no longer taught. Simple things like not entering an auditorium when a play or musical score is happening was just understandable and expected back in the day. It’s very likely the person in charge of the performances that day has no idea he/she was being disrespectful. This is not to excuse the behavior but only to offer one other possible explanation.
I am a Marine mom whose 18 year old son gave his life for the country he loved. It breaks my heart when I see disregard for those who sacrificed so much. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Semper Fi, Oohrah. Rest in peace my son.
💜
Deep condolences ma'am. Each of these men who put on the uniform are heroe's. So sad he was taken to the other side so young. In Gods care. ✝
Thank you for your son’s 3:40 service 🇺🇸🙏🏼 God bless you 💕
Thank you for your beautiful son his service and his and your sacrifice.
Thank you for the incredible sacrifice you made to our country, and for the pain you continue to endure every day. I am sure your son was as proud of you as you are of him. M.J.Conrad, Colonel, USMC (Ret)
Agree 100% - Athletes are entertainers, Marines are heroes. The entertainers should not dare to step on the field while the Marines occupy it.
Maybe a lot of people paid money to see entertainers (football players) ??
Was the event a football game with paid admission? or a Military event with paid admission. Who had sponsorship, who was getting pissed off with losing advertising
'time'.... etc, maybe the network was bleeding money for the 2 minutes of extra time. Loss of advertising and extra satellite hire.
You can't mix Govt events with commercial often... they just work differently. And the culture of thinking behind each is so different.
@@colonelfustercluck486 the Marines were obviously invited there. So it doesn't matter who lost money or who was bored. You show respect for them as they protect the country. And have a little dignity for yourselves and not be selfish and disrespectful of the real Men that were on that field.
@@colonelfustercluck486 I get your point, I just think sports players are entertainers, not hero's. Thats all.
@@JoeBattle I'm not disrespecting anyone. I point out the reason for a possible conflict over use of time on the field. That's is all.
@@AnthemDrums I agree. Just pointing out possible causes of conflict over those last minutes on the field. I not against the military. I'm also not against pro sportsmen.
its heartening to see a European RUclipsr have more respect for the US than many US citizens nowadays.
💯 agree
Sad, but so true.
Don't apologize, it was disrespectful. These are the real heroes, the men who will lay down their lives so their fellow countrymen can live theirs.
You are absolutely correct. Anyone on the field during their demonstration IS Super Disrespectful ! Thank you for acknowledging that fact. I appreciate your respect.
I agree!
Not really..these Men REPRESENT those who will lay down their lives so we can live ours...like their Military Band, they practice these drills for hours..they do not go to war zones then come home to be a part of this Platoon..never the less they still earn respect
@@susandelatorre6716 those soldiers, represent the entire military. Everyone who has served, everyone who gave their last measure, and everyone who is fighting today and who will fight tomorrow. There is nothing more noble or courageous than laying down your life for your brother, your country, and all that we stand for. There is no one in the military that deserves more or less respect.
DISRESPECT OUR MILITARY 😢
That's what's wrong with America right now!! So disrespectful to a group that deserves the utmost respect!!
🙏🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲🙏
People aren't being raised to have respect for themselves let alone others! They've grown up entitled and self centered! If there's ever a war the youth will fail in every way! 😠
@@vickidoulton unfortunately, I feel that is so true! And most of them did not go through any kind of military training after High School so they don't even know how to fight and most of that group doesn't know how to aim and fire a gun properly. I guess adrenaline will help if it comes down to it. I pray for my nephews and their families. It will be even worse on their kids!
🙏🇺🇲🌎👧✝️👱🌎🇺🇲🙏
Agree
Generation rising, no respect for military, American flag, discipline...it's all ego and ignorance of what reality is. If a draft is imposed, there will be a lot of sissies crying for Mama, Daddy!!!
@@vickidoulton
We’re only a few months away from WW-III. After which, people will war with sticks and rocks.
The discipline of our Marine Corps is unmatched anywhere. They make their countrymen so proud!
Your a good respectful man.
That's not normal they're brought up to be unpatriotic in the schools especially, where they learn fascist values 😢.
Ambidextrously.
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
It’s not just Marines that make their Countrymen proud.
You’re very correct my friend. I’m the son of a father who fought in WWII, The Korean Conflict and Vietnam as a Marine. I too thought it entirely disrespectful that the players took the field prior to the conclusion of the Silent Drill Program. There’s nothing they couldn’t do from the sidelines. Lack of respect.
I’m a Marine veteran. The disrespect showed by these players is disgusting.
You are 100% correct! And I am not going to give you the lame "thank you for your service." I want to tell you that I appreciate the tremendous sacrifices you made, most none of us are aware of, to defend YOUR and our country and the freedoms that most U.S. citizens take for granted. I will, however, say "thank you" for committing yourself to doing what most citizens would never even consider nowadays. The Marines, especially, are the first in and the last out. They are the best of the best! I appreciate all of our Armed Forces, but I have the utmost respect for the Marines and the grunt work they do, all the while performing beautiful, precision ceremonies like this. Marines are human beings. They deserve respect.
What respect do you deserve? I do not see America benefitting from the glob al elite wars that American military serves. The average roofer deserves more respect.
Maybe they took a knee sad
Thank you for your service..
You as a Marine vet. I wonder if you would feel the same if it were the Alphabet mob 🤔
I'm a US Marine and you are right! The NFL is incredibly disrespectful! I don't watch Professional sports because of this. College Sports events are very Patriotic! Great Video! Thank You!
It’s sickening watching coddled multi-millionaires disrespect any branch of the military, and drop a knee during our National Anthem. Marines, like yourself, don’t run towards an end-zone, but towards danger to preserve our freedom. You’re my hero, and I thank you for your service. God bless and keep you.
@@denisek292 My Pleasure.
Ya'll must be real upset that a couple thousand morons attacked our Capitol, huh? lol
why should a sporting event be "patriotic" at all? all this "thank you for your service!" nonsense is cringe ... you get a taxpayer funded paycheck and benefits galore the rest of your life, don't you? that's not good enough? everyone supposed to bow down and worship you at their football games now? grow up, the narcissism of the military is out of control and the military worship of this country needs to stop
Marine here, ‘70-‘74, I watch no sports anymore except SUMO and local dirt track racing. Gave em up in late ‘90’s early 2k’s.
The fact that the marines are not distracted by the action around them on the field testifies to their ability to focus and concentrate no matter what. That's discipline.
🇺🇸
But kids are watching that it’s okay to treat our military personnel like crap!! Nice job nfl! Shame on you!
@@stephenweyuker3578Yup. But luckily it reveals the true characters of those football players and their management, so kids will learn by observation who has more integrity. It’s so obviously disrespectful
I think the players were allowed on the field to prove the Marines were capable as to not be distracted.
💯 this. People are looking for their kids to learn by examples other than what they are setting. Football players can be looked up to, but it is the parents' responsibility to teach right from wrong and use this example as a source of learning.
I am former Army, my first husband was retired Army, my second husband was retired Air Force, and my son is a Marine. You are absolutely right. Those players were very disrespectful and I not only blame them, I also blame the coaches and/or staff for letting it happen. Thank you for showing this video.
Your not the only one who thinks the players on the field was disrespectful. It was 100% ...the platoon deserves and earned respect. Not the players of a ball game.
I ECHO YOUR SENTIMENTS.
Yes, very disrespectful
Stop going to games people.
@sparkykitty6870 never been to a professional game, never will. High school and younger. Oh yeah..
Nope, as soon as I saw people running on to the field I was amazed at their rudeness!!! It really ticked me off big time!!!!!
As a Marine veteran, we all felt the disrespect of those players.
Semper Fi Marine!
You actually expected those gladiators to show respect? Are you kidding me? I haven’t watched “games” at all since the idiots started refusing to stand for our National Anthem.
Just gives me another reason I won’t watch the n f l since the kneeling crap.
How exactly are they *DIS*respected ?
@@larrybrinley8222 If you have to ask you wouldn’t understand.
These are MEN! Disciplined, Strong, Loyal, Courageous, and WE WILL HONOR THEM!!! God bless the MARINES!!
And F DJT.
@@stella-gx8ne typical Biden lover, always looking for opportunity to show their evil.
@@stella-gx8ne get a life
Couldn’t agree more. I was an airman and every time we went somewhere serious there were Marines on the perimeter. When we saw them we knew we were going to make it home.
@@jennifernorris9166 yes these are MEN ! I have heard it said that sports are the toy department of the human race . Simply frivolous vanity . Now serving your GOD & your fellow man , that’s an accomplishment that will be rewarded throughout eternity !
As an American, this is a reminder of our Unity, watching the Marine Corps act As One. We are struggling with the Divisiveness that is pulling us apart. We used to get tears of pride in our eyes when our National Anthem was played. Now when we come to ".... Land of the Free" ... we sorrow over the freedoms we are losing.
I am a US Marine and I think it's deeply disrespectful that the players would go on to the field before the silent drill platoon was done with their performance. NFL leadership sucks! No respect whatsoever.
I too am a Marine, and I would say (personally) that it's only Moderately disrespectful.
At the end of the day, The Marines are there to do a Job, but so are the Players... and the Marines are on players' turf, so I can understand it... Plus, the players probably see this sort of thing Relativley Often and probably kind of filter it out so it doesn't distract them from the game.
I still think it's mad disrespectful, but... I can also understand the players' point of view.
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Some coach or staff member somewhere probably made a mistake and told them to go out just 10 seconds too early. If you live your life looking for offense you'll always be offended.
@TheWasatchCrown 100% My guess is that it was probably Marine Leadership that led to that happening... Lt. Probably told the coach about the Marine Corp's "On time is Late" policy and dude probably didn't wanna look bad in front of the Corps and sent the boy's out a little prematurely.
Or, they might have genuinely thought it was ending and didn't realize there was still a minute or two left in the routine.
Roger Godell so disrespects the country every week. First allowing the players to kneel and now having 2 national anthems before games. Tragedy
Extremely shameful. It's offensive to all of those who serve and have served in their families
You’re absolutely right. That was so disrespectful of the NFL to allow ANYONE on that field until the Marines were off of it. Just watching it made me angry. Now to those Marines……. That was beautiful to watch. Thank you to all of our military here and abroad for all you do
Just another reason I don't watch the NFL anymore.
The NFL is frequently disrespectful like this. It's sad.
Thankful that you sadly saw the disrespect shown by the players on the field before the drill was over. The Marines should have had the field alone.
NFL didn’t respect the US flag and allowed players to kneel during the National Anthem!
I don’t like one bit but I am not shocked but the disrespect shown by the players . If I was a player on one of these teams I would have voiced my disapproval of these disrespectful actions and would have refused to be on the field and damned the cost. The heroes in Arlington told me I was worth the cost they paid for my freedoms. Those that promote this type of disrespect are called democrats amd are the enemies of our freedoms. Aka communist basterds!
I agree its a metter of respct. NO one should be on the field during this drill
💯👍
Agreed. What were they thinking. Though ultimately it comes down to timing. I was in a college marching band and there were a few times the timing didn’t add up. The players were just following orders.
@@bryancollins942 This is it. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Some coach or staff member somewhere probably made a mistake and told them to go out just 10 seconds too early. You shouldn't spend your life looking for things to be offended about especially when there is no apparent malice.
@@TheWasatchCrown The players are not blind either...
@@TheWasatchCrown Oh and there is an announcer telling them over the PA, prolly not a mistake.
Don't ever apologize for suggesting that people display respect. I don't do much in terms of outdoor sports now, but I've never seen the team come out midway of the Star Spangled Banner. This is so next level in terms of skill and the fact that these are our service members. Waiting 45 seconds would have cost them so little and gained so much in terms of demonstrated, professional gratitude. Thanks for the honest reaction!
They wouldn't dare get close if they thought those Marines had loaded rifles
A proud Mama here. My son was a member of the SILENT DRILL PLATOON FROM WASHINGTON, DC.
Thank him for a great performance.
--Their exemplary performance and conduct makes the American People extremely proud, congratulations to all, long live our vastly superior Western Civilization of decency and honor!
Thank you ma’am, they did an outstanding job. 🇺🇸👏👏👏
I know you are PROUD MOM, They were absolutely AMAZING!!! I loved it and please convey our disgust for what the NFL players did and the disrespect for our soldiers and all these young men. My daughter is Army and I would be livid. God Bless You and Your family. Thank all of them for their service to The United States Of America.
Thank you mom for bringing a great young man to this world. I salute your son.
Without the Marines, there would be no players and no football and no country.
@@joeflaherty4682 Wow…you summed that up perfectly. Thank you.
Yo. Don't forget us, in the sister services, too! We are JUST AS proud, well-trained, well-disciplined, and, well-dedicated as our Marine Corps brothers and, sisters are!! IT'S ONE HUGE FRATERNITY/SORORITY OF HONOR!! Something that 90% of the CURRENT CIVILIAN POPULATION WILL NEVER GET, UNDERSTAND OR, GRASP!!
Sad. Very sad!
exactly!!!!!! Well said!!! Show some RESPECT!!!
AMEN AMEN.
Hurrah
I think most Americans would agree that it was very disrespectful for anyone other than the camera crew to be on the field. I especially dislike them kicking the ball.
Not at all disrespectful. It’s televised and every second counts. The marines know this
@zook838 one of those footballs distracts one of the Marines someone could get seriously injured. There are bayonets on those rifles!!!
And those football players would not have done that is Beyonce was performing!!!
@@zook838And you've never watched a game go into overtime and completely mess up the TV schedule. You posting your comment says a lot about your character...lack of character I should say.
“Semper fidelis” Latin for always loyal or always faithful. [Honor>Courage>Commitment] That drill was brilliantly executed. Please excuse the NFL who should know no one should be on the field during the silent drill or until the Marines exit as a sign of respect. Their years of woke-ism must have made them loose their sense of timing. The reason the NFL has the Freedom and Liberty to hold a game in a massive stadium free of conflict is because of a soldier. We sleep in a war bed at night thanks to a soldier. Every freedom we have is because of a soldier and every citizen and organization needs to always be mindful of that and honor and respect that fact alone.
@@zook838BS
Thank you for honoring the men and women of military service by showing this video and respecting them with your words and the silence of honor.
Proud wife of a US MARINE! Extremely disrespectful that anyone was allowed on the field during the silent drill.
It's not so much the fault of the players, but great fault to the coaches for allowing this disrespect.
Very disrespectful to the Marines 🇺🇸
@@NancyForwandThey're grown men. They could have easily declined until the Marines were done.
I'm at 62 year old MARINE. Every time I watch this I get chills.. Semper Fi MARINES and all who've serve. 😎👊🏽✌🏽🇺🇸
Back at you brother.
Thanks for your service!!
I agree only camera dude should be in field....VERY DISRESPECTFUL DISRESPECT
These guys are cheerleaders...
These weird skills would not help in a fight.
They have never served in a war that protected the USA freedoms. The real ones who went over seas have only put a target on our backs while serving the rich corporate elite, or the military industrial complex.
I don't have faith you are educated enough to understand and will only respond will emotional outrage.
Stunningly disrespectful for the players to go on the field while the Marines are still there.
I'm an American. You need to see them live. This video did not do justice. They are incredible.
Civilian here. Marines, the people that walked on the field before you finished were ignorant because they have no idea of what it takes to earn the honor of wearing the uniform of the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. Keep us safe, Marines. Your country knows who you are and what you do. We cannot thank you enough for the courage, valor and sacrifice you have made for us.
Well said
I completely agree. Thank you. 🇺🇸
💯‼️🏆👑💪🏾👍🏾🙌🏾7️⃣💙
@@TMGettingMoney🙌🙏🤔🔜☢️🤯
A shocking display of ignorance. Thank you for your kind and wise words.
I am a retired US Army Paratrooper. The Marines did a great Job! The Football Players are assholes for not showing respect for them to wait until they were finished before taking the field!
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🙏🏼
I thnk it's bizarre that military displays are performed at any sports game. It's like singing the national anthem before watching a movie.
I completely agree and thank you for your service also. 🇺🇸
I agree, spoiled A-holes! You, are a hero!
@@loosiluNot really.
Historically speaking displays like this were pretty common and go back a long way.
Sport goes back quite a few millennia, it’s surrounded by pageantry and was a primary source of entertainment for the populace.
Rulers, governments and people with wealth and power would use sport as an opportunity to put on a display to awe the population as well as any diplomats, visiting rulers, people of influence, etc…
The bigger the game, the bigger the display.
At the unknown soldiers memorial while changing the guard a rifle was dropped stabbing the soldier through his foot with the bayonet.
The soldier not only did not even wince he kept time with the changing of the guard to the end of the ceremony. Only to have his wound cared for after leaving the area. That is called respect for our fallen heros.
I remember that incident and I remember they reported that his shoe was full of blood once he got inside but he dared let on as if he was hurt because that ceremony is an incredible sight to behold and nothing except you dropping dead should ever interfere.
Everyone should go and experience the changing of the gaurd at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I've experienced it once and am ready to go back. Once DC calms down I want to take my family.
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
It’s a Marine thing. It happens and they don’t complain. Complaining=dishonor.
Thanks for letting us know that.My son is a marine 10yrs/ 4 deployed (war 2003-2014)He was a Gentleman right out of Highschool)Had a wife and a 4 yrs old daughter.) Thanks
I am a mere Civil Servant for the United States Military in regards to Engineering procurements in peacetime and wartime. I am proud to be a American and I am also a FORMER n.f.l. fan. Following the DISRESPECT I just observed from the idiots that come onto the field including players, etc. from these teams before these Service Men finished the drill, I have decided you folks can take that football and stick it where the sun doesn't shine! God bless America and the Department of Defense!
Sincerely,
Norman Trent Hancock
Could not agree more.
I’m no US Marine but you are right that it was disrespectful that anyone be on the field when it ended 30 seconds later. They should have stood by and watched from the sideline until it was over no matter how long it took.
Marines were not completely finished, announcer wanted them off when he spoke and then he did it twice and they still wasn’t completely finished, but they did leave. Very sad throwing a football is nothing compared to our military.💞🇺🇸💞🇺🇸💞🇺🇸💞
Each player on the field should be fined and the owners should be fined 3 times the combined total of that amount! Embarrassing!
Absolutely
I 100% agree with you! I am a US Army veteran and I found it to be VERY disrespectful by the players AND the NFL for allowing the players to start taking the field while the Marines were still performing. Remember, these players are from the SAME league that supported kneeling during our National Anthem! I find it very distasteful and disrespectful by the players but sadly, I am NOT surprised. The REAL heroes were the ones in the Marine uniforms! Not jerseys and helmets!
It wasn't a hero contest. It was a football game. Obviously the Marines are the public and popular heroes, and the Football players pursue the professional game of football.
Were the grounds organised by Football, or the Marines? Maybe the were contractual arrangements, like advertising time and satellite hire that were going to blow the budget, for the football administration.
OK, get the Marines to organize /underwrite the football grounds, satellites, and advertising penalties for not delivering contractual obligations.....
Lots of Love and thanks to you!
Prime reason I don't watch football anymore.
The fact that the “players” got on the field during that is HORRIFIC! I can’t believe they allowed that to happen! So so disrespectful! That “team” should’ve been fined millions of dollars! It was grotesque 100%! They are so much more important than people kicking a ball around. I’m so glad you understand this! You are a honorary US citizen!❤❤❤❤
ITS THE THUG LEAGUE....COULD U IMAGINE IF THERE WASN'T A SPORT FOR THESE THUGS , HOW MUCH WORSE THEYD BE...
🎯🎯🎯
@@classicG342 oh I get so upset when I see videos of people not respecting the Kings Guard (or formerly Queens). It’s just beyond rude!
The general public is that stupid about the importance and the need for the military. Except when the shooting starts. Then they start screaming. You know just like Congress.
Well said!
I agree...as an American....that was so completely disrespectful of those people. It's disgusting actually. You are so right.
As a former U.S. Marine Veteran that lives in Houston. The Texans management and the NFL need to have some respect. People are more interested in the Marines than a bunch of people that get paid to play with ball. Completely disrespectful.
Texans begged the Chiefs to use the name when they should have demanded the NFL return the Oilers name back from the titans (yeah, I purposely used lower case)
Used to perform at Oilers halftime games in the dome with college band. The Oilers and their management treated us like royalty. 💕
It just makes this American patriot sick!
Way overpaid, at that.
Why are there players on the field .?
shameful
disrespect
While I completely agree that it was extremely disrespectful to let the players on the field while the Silent Platoon wasn't done (and I also agree that it's ridiculous how many millions people make from throwing balls around), I promise that people in those stands were infinitely more interested in the football game they paid to watch. I've never met a civilian who has ever found the Marine Corps more interesting than a football game.
I only served four years active duty as a military nurse. All I can say is no one and I mean, no one salutes like a Marine!!! Big respect 🫡
Only? That’s amazing you served your country of your own free will. I’m an Afghanistan veteran myself.
When I saw them getting interrupted i was pissed. Unholy disrespectful!!!!!!!!!!!!
No need to apologize- those football players on the field, while the Marine platoon was still performing, was ridiculously disrespectful! But, what else can we expect of the woke NFL? Thanks for highlighting this video!
Stop with the woke. I'm a liberal person with good manners. I respect the US Military
I'm a United States Marine Veteran and every time I see these Marines perform it brings tears to my eyes because of the pride it brings me. There's nothing like being a Marine.
Semper Fi.
Semper Fi Marine!
Great!
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Very disrespectful to have people on the field while United States Marine corps is performing
@brujahdon Semper Fi! As a Marine veteran myself, I consider myself very fortunate to have seen our silent drill team 5 times in the 4 years I served.
I 100% agree!! NO ONE should walk onto the field while they are out there!! Totally unacceptable and disrespectful!
Yes, not the media either.
Those players wouldn’t have even stepped on the field if a band or cheerleaders had been performing.
Disrespectful "players" should be fined $100K each. Their manager should be fined $500K. Team owner should be fined $1M...and don't anyone dare say, "they can't afford it!"
As a Navy veteran, I feel like it’s extremely disrespectful for anyone to be on the field until they finished!
My father was a marine, a young marine crying during the War from fatigue and battle worn said he couldn’t go on and carry his gun and gear so my papa said it’s ok, man give it to me, ran with his gun, and the boys gun, bullets and pack and all their gear for miles, he broke his ankle in 5 places, which actually saved him from being killed, he never told me and would just say that old ankle never healed until we were on a bad plane ride that I thought was gonna crash, then he started telling me all his war stories. And I was amazed. I am so glad he told me about his brothers and him. His oldest brother fought and was a marine officer in an island and the enemies called him “the mountain” because he was nearly 6’9. He was fearless and because they would try to kill themselves with grenades to try and kill the marine and allied men my uncle said no more bringing back prisoners! I’ll leave you to guess what they did, my brother was 6’4 and a Marine and the only tall man I know who could do the Chinese splits with his long legs, and he was a sharp shooter, had a perfect aim. My other uncle I adored was a hit shot Airforce pilot and he and his friend were in dozens of air battles. They kept each other safe, his dear friend died saving his sister’s kids from a fire when he came home right after the war. He was such a great good fun and sweet guy and amazing fighter pilot. I cried hearing his sad story, but my papa said he wouldn’t have had it any other way. Marines never leave their wounded or their dead behind.
AS A RETIRED UNITED STATES MARINE SNCO, I AM QUITE PROUD OF THESE YOUNGSTERS AND PROUD TO BE A MARINE JUST LIKE THEY ARE. THEY ARE THE CORPS SUPERSTARS............🇺🇸🪖🙏🏾😁

All my respect all day every day.
I’m a MC Brat and players on the field, as if the platoon wasn’t there was entirely disrespectful! But we already know NFL has little respect in their behavior. Thank you, sir, for showing this! ❤🇺🇸
This is military entertainment, not a war march. Jeez Louise 😂😂😂
@@Happydayz-2025 It is all about respect. RESPECT!!!!
11:13 practicing on the field. 5 min before it was over. They owe a public apology. Come on
Your opinion is correct. So disrespectful to the soldiers who are committed to protecting and dying for the football players.
LOL, Marines aren't soldiers. Don't call them that. We are Marines, not soldiers. (Brainwashing is fun, it can still trigger me 40 years after the fact 😂😂)
With all respect, they aren't soldiers; rather, U.S. Marines.
@@Roscoe1279Semper Fi
When has a Marine ever died for a football player
@@kennyperkins1843 and was it Soccer Football, American Football, or Rugby Football?
You are absolutely correct. It’s terribly disrespectful to these young men. Everyone that came out on that field owes them a big apology for being rude jackasses.
You can't blame the individual players. It was a decision made by whoever was stage managing the event.
Yes I can blame the individual players. They were grown men and women on that field. They didn’t need anyone to tell them just how disrespectful it would be to go on that field with those soldiers on it. It wouldn’t have hurt anyone if they had waited for them to leave the field before going out on it. Don’t tell me it wasn’t disrespectful because it damn sure was.
@@sherryarflin726 It's a team. If you refuse to go out on the field to warm up when the coach tells you to, you will be cut.
@gotham I didn’t see but a handful a handful of players on the field with a couple of staffers. I also believe if they had stated they’d be out there as soon as the men got off the field it would’ve been ok. Imagine what would happen to a team’s reputation if they fired a player for simply waiting for a military drill team to exit the field first before taking it. I’m a big fan of football and I know what a teams reputation can mean for them. This was more important, giving these guys the respect they deserved. It was more important.
But they were contracted to be there at that time as professional players and match officials. That is their job and contractual obligation... be there, on the ground at 'X, Y and Z' time. (Or financial ruin may happen if you get sued for not complying)
If you pay their financial penalties for being late for starting the football game, I'm sure that they would help out. And be happy for the wonderful drill display, continue past deadline, for an extra 30 to 60 seconds.
People paid to watch the game... on TV or in person....
Lets see.....
TV network transmission delayed (a slot in a pre-booked system)
Advertising (contracted and paid for).... whoops..... might have to pay $10 million back, if we miss a little of that.
Satellite network hire on spot rates........ geez we missed the slot a little.... still have to pay anyway.
Venue hire and the huge logistics going into that.... oop's, all around the place.
74yr old Marine veteran here. The discipline and concentration these men have is something that cannot be matched. When you have gone through Marine boot camp you have learned that you can accomplish extraordinary things. Semper Fi to these and all who have ever worn the uniform of a United States Marine. God bless us one and all. Thank you all veterans of every service.
Amazing is a good enough word
WTH are they doing get off the field
Semper Fi To All VETERANS of EVERY FORCE.
Best comment here and thank you and all veterans for you service to this great nation.
@@donniedefoor4250 you are still a Marine! Once a Marine always a Marine! Semper Fi! JR, CWO2, USMC, Retired
You are absolutely correct, it was extremely disrespectful to the Jarheads. Even though I was in the Army, I would never disrespect them like that. Those teams and their coaches should be ashamed of themselves.
It's the disgraceful NFL.
Total disrespect. And they never ever gave it one thought. In their mind the whole day was about them. Never mind these are the true heroes!
This is amazing. It burns me up that the players are out on the field. It is so disrespectful and it breaks my heart.
To every single man performing...awesome job !!!
You are correct. The players shouldn't have been on the field while The Marines were performing.
I'm U.S. Navy 1965 to 68 and knew a Ship full of Grunts and they are the pride of America. Rich little football players have no idea want the Marine Corp means to America!
They think they're job is more important. I refuse to watch any football games!
As a momma of 3 veterans I wanted to cry @ the disrespect of those worthless people on the field. 😢 our soldiers deserve so much more.
Thank you for their service, and your sacrifices as their momma. 🙏❤️🇺🇸
The disrespect shown by those players that entered the field and acted out their practices while the incredible Silent Marine Drill Team performed their incredible perfect performance is beyond disgustingly disrespectful.I would have entered the field when thy were playing their game sang God Bless Americaoutloud and surely been arrested. Keep Aiming High Always. (N)
Another Mom of 3 veterans here, and I agree. My Navy Vietnam Vet Dad always told if the disrespect shown, but today disrespect for veterans and the lack of patriotism is both sad and scary. History repeats itself if not taught to future generations.
"Worthless people," I would add IGNORANT, you are right.
Thank you for showing our Marines the respect they deserve.
Family member of Army veterans, here. I hold the highest respect for anyone who has worn or currently wears a uniform to defend our nation. To disrespect the silent drill is unacceptable. The only ones who should have been on the field were the Marines and the camera crew. NO ONE ELSE until the Marines were completely off the field. Period!
AGREED! Totally!😮 As a proud nephew of a once serving, now departed member of the US Armed services, the son of one of the first WAACs in WW2 and the father of another sweet, to me, member of the US Army I have to staunchly condemn anyone who either interrupts the USMC silent drill platoon, either by their own lack of respect or by the league's lack of same!😩😕
I'm a veterans daughter (RIP) and sons in Navy and Army. No one should disrespect anyone in uniform. I salute you all and God Bless
I'm an old hippie and totally agree. Our armed forces deserve respect.
US Navy veteran, big respect to my brothers in the Marine Corps.
I am extremely proud of these young men. My nephew is a MARINE and I agree No One should be on the field except them. They are extremely disciplined. Im Indigenous Native Amerindian many of my family has served in the military. May GOD continue to protect our Service Men. Thank you for watching the MARINES silent drill platoon. They are the ones we need if anything happens in our Country.
🇺🇸💫🤍🙌🏽😢
I agree. Thank you
💯💯💯
My 1st husband was a Marine, thank you for showing the Corps finest. I was thrilled to watch such precision. The crowd & the Teams weren't going anywhere. The NFL hype & coverage will still get its billions. Respect 🙏 for those true Heros who fight & give their lives & limbs for minimal pay. I guarantee the Military works out longer & harder. And no babying them with photogs , party's & million $$$ rings. At best they live to fight another day. God Bless them.
As a brother, nephew, uncle, cousin and grandson of veterans I totally agree with the Marine who stated that it was disrespectful that the players started back to the field. All possible respect should always be given to those who chose to defend We the people.
So then F DJT. VOTE 🌊🌊🌊
They deserve all the respect this country can give them.vThe NFL IS A JOKE. CANT STAND THE NFL AND ITSRULES. THEYY SYPHON.
No respect..
Agreed
Thank you, as a wife of a marine, for saying you have a lot of respect for them. They are heros
Thank you for your husband’s service 🇺🇸🙏🏼God bless you 💕
I saw them perform about 35 or so years ago. You can bet they were not shown the level of disrespect they were given here. What a sight they are to watch though.
Was in the Marines from 1976-1980. Best time of my life, really no joke. In booth camp you get taught the rich history of the Marines, so every Marine knows what his expected of him or her. And just because you get out, doesn’t mean anything, because once you are a Marine, you are a Marine for life. Excellent show Marines. Semper Fi to my brothers and sisters!
I was a Marine Infantry Rifleman for 12 years, did 5 combat deployments, I want to thank you for calling these guys heroes. I myself don't see myself as anything close, but the buddies that did not have the same opportunity those are heroes. I am used to being called a killer, a murderer, I should have died like the rest of my friends, and so many other things by fellow Americans. Thank you for saying something kind about these Marines. Semper Fidelis
Semper Fi, Marine. My late husband did 3 tours of Nam. My brother served in DC during the Kennedy admin. Was honor guard for the casket, escort in the funeral, on Silent Drill Team.
Thank you humbly for your service, keeping us safe, Sir. ❤🇺🇸✌️🇨🇦
I'm an Air Force brat and I want to thank you for your service. No one should be out on that field until the Marines are off of it! Too many do not respect what should be respected. I was in middle school when Vietnam was done and could not understand why the Vietnam vets were treated the way they were. We were stateside and I went to a civilian school. Very sad the way things were.
I so agree with you that no one other than the Marines should be on the field. This is very disrespectful.
Do the Marines, own, lease or rent that field? Who-ever lawfully pays the lease or rent has occupation of the field.
What about the off-field items, like TV and Satellite channel slots..... pre-paid.
ON-field logistics, food, drink, waste disposal... everything
And the pre-paid advertising..... the Marines paying that, or are you contributing to the penalties.....
@@colonelfustercluck486 no one is suggesting that it's in any way their property or responsibility. someone invited them. that someone, is paying for and/or responsible for all those things you cited. the marines didn't just show up to intrude and disrupt those things. and virtually none of those things were disrupted by their presence. those football players could have waited a couple minutes without any cost to your list of strawmen. and all of that is irrelevant to the concerns of these posters. this is simply a matter of respect. for which they clearly have none. am i the only one not surprised by their behavior? or your totally off the mark response?
As a former Marine, these are the jerks we have to deal with at home, NO ONE should be disrespecting our military. Those are the ones who don't care about us. To flaunt it in our faces is the ultimate disrespect. The Drills are preformed every night at the Commandants home upon the retrieval of our beloved flag, it's an official event. These men are the best of the best working in our beloved Corps. Thank you for showing us them again, they always make me swell with pride, my stomach hurts from not wanting to breathe as they preform, its so entrancing. God bless them and protect them as they go about their daily lives and defending low lives as well as those of us who cherish them. OOhRah Devil Dogs! Semper Fidelis!
Ultimate disrespect for REAL!!! These men play in WAR games with real guns and real ammo. On the other hands you have these JERKS that play with a Ball. I do understand that some come out of the games with serious brain injuries and more but this is disrespect in the faces of men who have to have total focus on the routine and they get paid a fraction of that the ball players are paid. They should be ashamed and SHAMED!!!
Thank you for your service.
YES! Very disrespectful indeed.
Where were the coaches and managers? The crowd should have booed them for their disrespect.
I have nevercseen this drill team b4. So disciplined and accurate. EXCELLENCE on display. Thanks to every Marine, incl Gen David Berger, Gen Eric Smith, Sen Dan Sullivan and my brother Kent (deceased).
Thank you for the respect, empathy and sincere commentary. It disturbed me and I had to keep focusing when the players came onto the field.
I enjoy football but I believe in our Military and am thankful for every member, in every branch. ❤
Respect for the USMC! The announcer messed up several times introducing them and then the players and others out on the field. At least give them the courtesy of letting them finish.
The players who rushed them are despicable. They owe their lives to those marines.
The NFL totally disrespected Them. they should let them at least finish what they're doing if they're gonna have them out there, given that much respect. Keep up the great work. Much love from Lawton Fort Sill Oklahoma.
I’m a Marine Nam Vet…68-69…and nothing makes me more proud than to see this group of Marines perform. Aside from that, remembering that my Dad was a Marine during WW2…38-46 but passed before I joined.
my husband was a Marine for 33 years and we have seen the silent drill team at many bases including their home in DC, which was incredible. Remember civilians done know anything about respect ...
As someone who has been through army platoon drills, finding one person in a company that can perform such high level drills with such precision is pretty rare. All the respect to our marine brothers.
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🙏🏼
That was the most beautiful drill I seen. My husband was in the Marines. Now he is in the heavens. I couldn't be so proud.
When my dad was in the US Army he was Military Police (MP) in Korea (1950's) he learned to do some of this. He was an honor guard for the big brass when they were at the POW camp he was at. He learned because he found it interesting and really liked it. He showed me some of this with his hunting rifle.
These guys are amazing, I can't imagine how much they drill to get this good.
I agree with you, the field should be clear while the marines are on the field.
As a former USMC infantryman this awesome display of discipline and precision brings back old memories. Memories of marching in the hot sun for hours as we practiced these same maneuvers. Obviously these men are the best of the best.
My uncle was a sergeant in the 1st. Marine Division who fought in the battle of Guadalcanal. He survived the battle but got deathly sick from malaria. He did eventually recover. He was the toughest man I ever knew, but the kindest and gentlest as well.
I am a US Marine corps veteran and let me say that the first time ever seeing this unit perform my ❤ damn near lepted out of my chest and to this day every time it still swells full of pride ! ❤🇺🇸💪🏼
You need not apologize, Andre. Totally agree with you, no one should be on the field until the Marines are finished. This is the "new" National Football League.
New? No Shantz. They've always been money grubbing a*s holes.
tbf it could've been an innocent but very unfortunate miscommunication, too.
stuff happens sometimes. ran into it back in high school marching band a couple times during half time performances. one time the other team was stopped before they entered the field, one time they got stopped after (and started to get in our way a bit). also once had a band at a competition move to set up a shade too early as well, right after we finished but before we could leave the field.
in jrotc i've been in a drill competition where one group was incorrectly told they could enter through a passageway, and it almost mucked with our routine (it was a small room, tbf).
i've also helped run multiple years of a local special olympics, and one year the parents ran onto the field when they were never supposed to be allowed entry, after a miscommunication.
@@dead-claudia even so, the players SAW them! C'mon!! They weren't taught respect.
I wrote the National Felon League a few years ago due to their stupidity and LOW standards they have now.
Yes, the 'take a knee' generation'. God forbid they ever pick up a weapon and fight a real right.
I'm not a Marine. I spent 20 years in the Navy and I was so disgusted and actually pissed when the football players and others went onto the field while the drill team was still drilling. I can only imagine how disgusted I'd feel if I served as a US Marine! Totally disrespectful!!! I just can't believe it! Everything was ruined the minute they walked onto that field! Effin jerks!!!!
Marine vet here. I'm not surprised. The NFL allows kneeling during the National Anthem which makes the NFL a disgrace and an embarrassment.
I'm glad you picked up on the disrespect of the NFL players. You're a real patriot you know. Some of us know when honor call's we have to answer and "American" means more than being born somewhere, it fighting against those who wish to inslave us! "Freedom" it's being taken!
Deeply Disrespected by players taking the field. Thank you sir for acknowledging that.
My Father was a Marine. He was a sharpshooter , a sniper. He was a guard for the base he was assigned to. This was a missile base, and one must have special clearance even to go onto it. I felt it was extremely rude of the players, and whoever was in charge of the stadium, to not be respectful enough to let them finish. Recently I saw a baseball game for children. At the beginning they announced they wouldn’t play the National Anthem. This did not go over well. God bless the fans that sang the anthem and showed our patriotism and respect for our flag. What is happening in the USA, that doesn’t allow us to play our own anthem. I was disgusted and broken hearted. God save us all!
I was very surprised that there was anyone on the field before the drill team exited. The changing of the guard for the Tomb of Unknown Soldier always makes me cry.
Me too. It's incredible that the changing of the guard goes on 24/7/365 with precision and dedication. God bless our Marines.
@@denisefarmer366 I also gets serious goose bumps. Same for the American Anthem and the morning and evening changes of the flag on base.
You are not incorrect, it is very insulting to those great soldiers that represent the finest strength, precision, dignity and honor of America.
Totally agree the Marines are awesome. You are right; the players could have waited a few more seconds to enter the field, considering the military provides the blanket of freedom they sleep under. (to quote a favorite movie)
God bless our American heroes, both domestic and abroad. True heroes. Thank you for your service. America strong, America proud, keeping America Free.
I'm American and embarrassed to admit I haven't heard of or seen this USMC Silent Drill Platoon. What did I just see???!!!!!! Goosebumps on top of goosebumps. These soldiers are beyond impressive with their precision and skills You make America proud. Semper Fi.
I so agree with you. It's an honor to have the Marines there performing. Very disrespectful for the players to walk up and mill around. People don't have manners or honor anymore.
WE WERE SPELLBOUND WITH THE ACCURACY!! FANTASTIC!!
I agree - that was very disrespectful. Our military are the heroes, the football players shouldn't have been on the field anywhere near those men.
I can’t believe that anyone would be on the field at the same time as those Marines. Un-freaking-believable!
My son is a Marine Veteran and once a Marine, ALWAYS a MARINE!
I started America's Flag Truck 16 years ago when my son enlisted, and it's main purpose is to honor our Military and Veterans and their Families!
🇺🇸 AMERICA 🇺🇸
@thePoconoPatriot, thank you for your service!
@deborahl.goforth3295 I could never get in during the Vietnam War & my draft number was 25. I now do what I can to help & acknowledge our Veterans!But thank you.
I said this to someone else that, whether our child, our parents or any member of our family served that we served as well and that is why I thanked you. I was in the USAF, my dad was USN, my husband was USAF, his brothers were USMC and my son was USAF and it has long been acknowledged that if any member of your family served then you had served too because of the support we give them.
I agree with you, my Latvian friend!
I'm a very proud United States Navy SEAL veteran and, seeing this, those over-paid bastards, playing a kids game, taking the field BEFORE MY MARINE CORPS BROTHERS are finished with their routine is a disgrace to my brothers in the Marine Corps!! Pisses me off!!!
