MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Activists protesting police brutality chained themselves along a light-rail line carrying ticketholders to the Super Bowl on Sunday, halting trains in both directions. Metro Transit’s Green Line was shut down a little after 2 p.m., about three hours before kickoff, by a group of about 30 activists at the Stadium Village station. Transit spokesman Howie Padilla said the agency had a contingency plan to get ticketholders to the game on time. Chinyere Tutashinda, a spokeswoman for the activists, said they were also protesting authorities’ decision to dedicate the city’s two light-rail lines to Super Bowl ticketholders on Sunday. Non-ticketholders had to use buses instead. Black Lives Matter and several other groups planned two separate events and a march Sunday afternoon. About 300 people had gathered at a park a couple of miles south of U.S. Bank Stadium, and planned a march that would have them arrive at the stadium near 5 p.m.

Roger Goodell's $100 million protection money wasn't enough.

I’m absolutely through with them forever. My father says he’s watching the SB and I told him you couldn’t pay me to watch that thug worshiping cult. I told him to give it a pass but I don’t know if he’s listening to me.

Is that why the stands looked half empty when I watched a live news report from the SB about 5:30 or so?

Excellent idea. Make the last 4 fans really late to the game. That’s some brilliant work there. Shoot, block them for a couple of hours if ya can, SJW’s.

Man, I gotta pop some popcorn.

Good! Let them get frostbite.

On reconsideration, they’ll get frostbite because they’re too full of alcohol and drugs to even be aware of the cold until real damage has set in. They’ll eventually pack the local ERs, getting in the way of real emergencies. They’ll have no insurance, so the bill for the ambulance, the ER, doctors, and everything else will go to the taxpayers.
