[@Y2J-ri3vf]

This was staged you clown. Teams all around the league were doing it. Nothing patriotic. If this was truly heartfelt, the game would never have been played cause no one would have backed down. Obviously they all got together to plan out how it would play it. Again, nothing patriotic about this, but more of a joke. Only thing good about this is Stroman obviously agreed to this prank, and it backfired on him 😂
