Too bad Noj doesn't post here anymore.
No patriot act

“Of course, there’s nothing better than being American,” the Iowa quarterback said to Fox Sports reporter Chris Myers after Iowa’s 24-14 victory over Georgia Tech. “. . . If you don’t love it, leave it. USA, No. 1.”
“There was alway an American flag hanging up in the house,” he said. “There was always one hanging up outside. There was a lot of patriotic talk and having a lot of pride in your country and the freedom and not taking things for granted and working hard. You just kind of adopt those things.”
There is some “moto” to Stanzi, sure. His moped sports an American flag and is covered in USA stickers. He yells out in the Iowa weightroom when Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” comes on or when the “Rocky” theme kicks in.
Never bothered to read the lyrics, I guess. Just like Ronnie Raygun and others.

Stanzi loves his country and is proud to be an American. Yeah, that's just terrible. :roll:

I'm still wondering why an article written in November is just now getting play?

My guess is that Fredo is going after Stanzi for misinterpreting the lyrics to "Born in the USA". Many people, including a guy who was born after the song came out (Stanzi), hear the chorus and think it a very patriotic song. When you listen to the lyrics, it's the opposite.

That is correct.

Deadspin mentioned it in their post about the team and their workout that got a bunch of them sick.
