You missed the guys in grey?
With blue pants? Not familiar with that Confederate garb. Whoever did the graphic obviously wasn't much of a historian. They probably played Dixie because it has a nice oldish march tune to it. Cadets at West Point also where grey. Anyone seriously offended by this is a goddamn phony or is looking to be offended.
It was meant to be humorous and lighthearted yet these twitter schmucks are pretending like ESPN is some neo-Confederate promoter now. Lmao

exactly... the person who added the music probably just googled "civil war era music" and up popped "Dixie" and he thought "perfect background music for this Andrew Luck graphic"
they could've picked any other pipes and drums style song and been ok... but the audio guy just HAD to find "Dixie" 1st
