Before we weep any tears for the NFL, keep in mind, these are the people who either REFUSED to respect our National Banner and Anthem, or gave moral support to those who DID refuse. It’s time those felons got a little blowback from their immoral stupidity.

[ichabod1]

The NFL hates America so SCREW THEM.

[ßuddaßudd]

the shutdown is even effecting the weather this year im told ..

[mrsmith]

Union: “Nice Super Bowl you have there. Be a shame if...”

[Drango]

F the NFL.

[doorgunner69]

They having another one of those things? Been three years since I saw one.

[Vigilanteman]

But the Stupor Bowl will be in jeopardy!

Have you heard of even one federal worker during this shutdown leaving to take a job in the private sector? Neither have I.

There has got to be at least one or two of them out there. I've read sob stories galore . . . but not one about them leaving for a job in the private sector. Not one. Why do you suppose that is?

[wally_bert]

I haven’t watched a stupor bowl since the mid 80s.

Shut it down, it means nothing.

[EdnaMode]

Amazing isn’t it?

[IronJack]

Oh no! A meaningless sports event might be impacted so that we can get a wall built to protect our country!

I think it's a risk I'm willing to take.

[Trump_the_Evil_Left]

Cancel the Sucker Bowl.

Tell them when we have The Wall of the People and when the NFL bans kneeling or otherwise disrespecting our country, then we might reconsider.

[o-n-money]

Super Bowl? Won’t miss that either.

[LeoTDB69]

“When does the Shutdown start affecting the orbit of the Earth?”

IDK, maybe we better ask Hank Johnson. He did save Guam from capsizing.

[laplata]

You’re preaching to the choir and you’re right.

[discostu]

Maroon 5. Not rap. Probably some rap guest star. Not the first time by a long shot. It’s popular music.

[laplata]

That’s right. I don’t know who is going to play in the super bowl and couldn’t care less.

[MichaelCorleone]

Exactly.

[KC_Conspirator]

Go Griefs!

[TomServo]

I watch the puppy bowl.

[oldtech]

Where I live, we are getting some of the warmest winter weather ever. Don’t see how it has to do with the gov’t. shutdown, but if they canceled the Superbowl as well.......that would be a nice twofer.
