MUSIC FOR THE RYDER CUP

About a month ago I was listening to the radio BBC 5 Live when an advert came on for the BBC's coverage of the forthcoming Ryder Cup next week. It consisted of recordings of memorable moments from previous Ryder Cups played over some very stirring background music. I thought for a few seconds and then realised the music was from the film Gettysburg. I have not heard that advert since.

Gettysburg was the scene of the battle that turned the US Civil War towards the Union. The Confederacy had broken away due to the skullduggery of Albert Pike and a few other Europhile American Freemasons who were intent on keeping and expanding slavery in North and Central America.

So the question is, why would the BBC select such music for a 'battle' between America and Europe in the former confederate state of Kentucky, but then withdraw that music? Whoever selected that music must have heard the music from either watching the film or hearing the score for the film and also known the significance of Gettysburg.
