Call me old-fashioned for enjoying unapologetic patriotism: honoring our troops, our flag, and our country. Leftists will call me a stupid black man suffering from Stockholm syndrome for loving my country. They've done it to others.
But then there was rhythm and blues superstar Gladys Knight, the empress of soul, and her stellar performance of our national anthem at Super Bowl 2019. It brought tears to my eyes. I salute Ms. Knight for courageously rejecting pressure from leftists to boycott the event. She went one better than that because she gave it her all.
The Los Angeles Rams, meanwhile, said they might skip visiting the White House if they were to win the Super Bowl. I am pleased to announce that they lost.
Folks, I am so weary of leftists' relentless efforts to dis my president and throw political cold water on everything we enjoy in America. A few years ago, leftists absurdly claimed that domestic violence spikes on Super Bowl Sunday. It doesn't, so now they've kept quiet about it. Why are leftists obsessed with urinating on the traditions Americans enjoy?
During this Super Bowl, video was shown of the NFL meeting with black civil rights leaders to address the issue of social justice. I disapprove of the NFL pandering to leftists' lie claiming that blacks are routinely mistreated in America and something must be done about it. For crying out loud, Americans elected one of the worst presidents in U.S. history, two times, mostly because he was black. America is the greatest land of opportunity on the planet for all who choose to go for their dreams. Yet there they go, bringing out their oppression cards.
As a football fan, I thank President Trump for effectively forcing the NFL to back away from disrespecting our flag and national anthem. I agree with Rush Limbaugh that Trump saved the NFL.

One of the best defensive games I have seen in quite a while.
“I agree with Rush Limbaugh that Trump saved the NFL. “
I would not view that as one of Trump’s major accomplishments. More like a “too bad it happened.”
Excellent!
I stopped watching after the first quarter and watched the Puppy Bowl on the Animal Planet.

I’m curious why the network scoreboard at the bottom of the screen listed the Rams as “LAR” but the Patriots were listed as “NE”. Is the word “Patriot” toxic to the leftist media?
It was a good game, and the Pat’s defense took a lot of abuse early in the year. But good coaching, strategy and planning beat the Rams like a dusty rug. Goff was too inexperienced to be able to deal with the fluid and changing defense.
I enjoyed the game, and watching the defensive line overwhelm the Rams time and time again was fun. As far as the last quarter, that’s where Brady excels.
Maybe because they share LA with the Chargers. Sports networks identify the Angels as LAA, and the Dodgers as LAD.
I was amazed at the Rams ability to be in face of the Patriot’s receivers. They were on them like white on rice.
One of the more interesting SBs.
Agreed!
Because there are also the LA Chargers, which get denoted as LAC on the scoreboards. Otherwise, the city acronym is standard.
I think the best part was when Gladys Knight took off her shirt.
It was not a football game it was four hours of commercials interrupted by football.
No, there are two teams in LA, the Rams and the Chargers. Had the Chargers been there it would have read LAC........................
