8 AM Parade in Brookland on Saturday. Say What?

DCist reports that there was a parade today in the Brookland neighborhood at 8am. The parade apparently was a "football parade." When you're woken up at 8am on a Saturday by a parade, there's not much else to do other than tweet about it, and here's how one early morning riser reported the parade: "Awoken by sirens and screaming and yelling. Was a football parade at 8am." Another surprised Brookland resident tweeted, "Can't believe there was a parade going through #Brookland at 8am this morning."

We're not entirely sure what a football parade is, but we are very sure that nobody should have a neighborhood parade at 8am on a weekend. Ever.
