People may rage me for this but honestly I don't care. 9/11 is a sensitive topic to most Americans today, and it really shouldn't be considered a "holiday" on a game where the playerbase A) Doesn't even remember the event (I am older than most and barely remember it) and B) Aren't mature enough to not try and troll and to take it seriously. Seriously I saw someone running around saying all muslims are, for the sake of quoting "b**** a** sandni***** that don't deserve to live, come blow up my house bro"
My other problem with this is how it was announced.

This is not a holiday. It is a sad event. The smiley face made it worse too. People died for crying out loud.
Another problem is people have already complained that we celebrate the US events but never events from other countries. I am starting to agree with this. Not once have we celebrated or had a day or remembrance for another country other than Mexico's Cinco De Mayo (which is a bigger deal in america than mexico anyways) My point being it is unfair and it really isn't just to the people who live in other places or who's heritage is elsewhere. This further leads to the insensitive comments made by the playerbase who again, aren't mature enough to just simply put other people's feelings into account.
It is a nice gesture to try and have a day of remembrance, but I think we need to remember this is a game. Political views, Religion and all that grey area crap should stay out of it.
