Super Bowl Opening Night took place at Minute Maid Park in Houston on Monday, and a topic of conversation surrounding the event was President Donald Trump.
Falcons owner Arthur Blank expressed concern about Trump because on Holocaust Remembrance Day, Trumps commemorating statement did not specifically mention the six million Jews who were killed during World War II. Blank himself is Jewish

I guess we’re even going to politicize THAT now.
Do we really need a post for every celebrity that says something?
I’ll be tuning into the Puppy Bowl, but here’s one (more) very good reason to hope the Pats beat the absolute stuffing out of Atlanta.
Superbowl has an “opening night”?
How can a football game have an opening night? Is the game over?
I really didn't care much about this game going into Super Bowl weekend. I have not watched football this season. But considering the Belicheck and Brady are friends of Trump, and that the Falcons owner is a total douche-nozzle, I echo your sentiment - GO PATS!!!
This is why the NFL is tanking. With GREAT sacrifice this year, I only watched Dallas Cowboy games +2 Raider games.
Normally I would have watched every game available. So it’s not quite a 100% boycott, but I’d say it’s a 90% reduction in my NFL viewing.
And more reason for me to support the Pats, especially since I have a photo of Brady with my book :)
OFGS! What is with this whiner? The Holocaust sought to exterminate more than just Jews; in fact, proportionally, more Gypsies were murdered than Jews. Then there were the gays, the communists, etc.
I have no dog in the Super Bowl fight, and indeed I’ve not watched a single pro football game this season (in protest over the multi-million dollar whiners who showed disrespect to our flag); but, based on this whiner’s comments, I’ll pull for the PATS to win (though I still won’t watch the game).
Another stupid Democrat Jew heard from, who thinks President Trump is prejudiced against his daughter, who became an Orthodox Jew when she married an Orthodox Jew, and their three children who are being reared as Orthodox Jews. These people put being a Democrat before being a Jew.
Made in China, of course.
Looked it up. A common estimate is that 5 million non-Jews were slaughtered in the Holocaust. They will be lost to history if “Jewish” and “Holocaust” continue to be used as synonyms.
Wake up and smell the coffee, dumb@ss.
I was going to pull for the Falcons but the choice is clear. FUAB.....GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gave up my Falcons tickets 4 years ago because i’m sick of the sjw bullshit in the NFL. Blank is a leftist and not getting a dime from me. People like this are ruining the sport. I grew up going to the Falcons games while they sucked and I honestly dont care if they win or lose.
I suggest everyone turn off the halftime show because its nothing but roger Goodell saying F U to Trump supporters and middle America
This is why, for the first time since I was a young child, I will probably NOT watch the Super Bowl this year.
Tired of highly-paid athletes with a chip on their shoulder and a sixth-grade reading level wiping their nose with OUR FLAG.
Tired of sycophant owners putting on the kneepads and servicing Democrats in order to keep getting new taxpayer-funded stadiums.
(except for the Pats, who are a bunch of sign-stealing footall-deflating cheats)
Tired of the offensive dreck halftime shows.
Just sick of it all.
President’s Trump’s daughter is married to a jewish guy.
President Trump did recognize the day.
As for not mentioning the number of people dead. Most people believe it’s 6 million jews and another 6 million everyone else. Whatever be the case. As for not mentioning the number I just don’t understand why that is so important? The bottom line it was a lot of people.
I have a feeling the writer, Harry Lyles Jr, is a radical anti-Trumper and now he is trying to politicalize the Super Bowl. He’s just a leftist attacking Trump.
Think this is an overblown story.
Not overly worrying about it, I'm locked in on college basketball, because:
GONZAGA'S # 1!!!
I’ve been anti-Patriots since their third super bowl, but find myself rooting for them this time. cant believe it but this idiot comment puts it over the edge. No more of this garbage. Kraft attended the inaugural. This dolt is accusing a strong supporter of Judaism of hate. Screw him. Go Pats.
That would be Closing Night. :-)
