Sacred Anzac tradition called into question over footy round

Debate is raging on-line over a sacred Anzac custom throughout the soccer season.

The Last Post being performed all through the Anzac spherical has been known as into query, as some debate whether or not it takes away from the very fact it ought to be an Anzac Day-only merchandise.

“Touchy subject, but do we need The Last Post before every sporting event up to five days before ANZAC Day?” ABC’s Brett Sprigg tweeted.

“It’s a sacred thing which should be reserved for the day, maybe the day before at a stretch. Are there other respectful ways to commemorate without getting bugle fatigue?”

As anticipated, the query evoked loads of emotion on-line.

Some criticised Sprigg, calling it a “complete lack of respect” to ask the query.

“Having been part of the Funeral Service for our last Light Horseman and Gallipoli Veteran Trooper Len Hall, who is immortalised in memory in Fremantle’s Len Hall game every year, I am frankly astounded by this complete lack of respect,” Richard Edinger stated.

“Gives a chance for everyone to experience the moment. Not everyone can get to the game on Anzac Day. No harm,” one other wrote.

However, some echoed Sprigg’s ideas.

“Only on ANZAC Day for me,” fellow ABC journalist Glen Lauder wrote.
