Hope the rest of the evening goes as well.

I didn't see anyone take a knee during the National Anthem.

If I am not mistaken, none of the later teams in the play-offs took a knee during the regular season.

Sorta like karma.

Hopefully BLM is winding down with Trump and more people notice that they are not with them.
It’S just a black KKK.
MAGA

One thing that leaves me disheartened is how much security is around the Super Bowl and how the network news plays it all out as normal.
The new normal.
I don’t accept the new normal.
I don’t think many under 30 know what the hell I’m talking about.
We should not be a shithole nation, that’s OK for Europe but that is not the American dream. I have a dream too.

These are disgusting punks. We need all welfare/handout programs ended. No work-no eat. No section 8 period. If you cannot pay rent or pay your mortgage-live under a tree. We owe no one except those injured in combat/line of duty. Why do we give illegals anything-much less the damn time of day. We either take our country back or we lose it.

Should have changed the locks, moved them out of the way and chained them to a lamp post.

Sounds like a security risk to me. Can’t get in the dome to wreak havoc? Halt a trainful of fans.

From the AP:

5:45 p.m.

A Metro Transit spokesman says 17 people were taken away after they blocked a light-rail line carrying Super Bowl ticketholders to the stadium.

Howie Padilla says no one was hurt in the protest, which blocked trains for about two hours ahead of Sunday’s kickoff. Metro Transit had buses standing by to get ticketholders to the stadium in time.

The activists said they were protesting police brutality, as well as the light-rail trains being taken over by Super Bowl spectators rather than being available to ordinary citizens.

Padilla says Metro Transit doesn’t expect the 17 activists to face charges. He says Metro Transit respects people’s right to free speech and demonstration.

Yep. It’s kinda hilarious, really. The thing is already bleeding fans left and right over this stuff.

I do believe a few more people will wake up, today, to the far-left political environment.

“”Padilla says Metro Transit doesn’t expect the 17 activists to face charges. He says Metro Transit respects people’s right to free speech and demonstration.””

Now there’s a Mensa candidate. What does free speech have to do with blocking patrons access to any kind of event?

I would like to see thousands of non-African activists protest the black-on-white hate crimes, the black-on-white beat downs, the knock out games, the black on white theft, black on white muder, rape, etc. thousands of these crimes occur annually, and yet, there is never a protest, why?

You're right but I saw a few other subtle gestures of disrespect like covering one's turned-aside face with the hands during the anthem; and another, rocking rhythmically back and forth to the groovy strains of The Star Spangled Banner.

OK by me. Minneapolis is a deep blue sh*t-hole, and the brain dead lefty locals deserve whatever they get. Too bad about the out of towners though.
