Kempis Songster was released last month after more than 30 years in prison for a murder he committed as a teenager.

Now, he’s going to the Super Bowl, courtesy of Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins.

As the Eagles’ nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, Jenkins was allotted two tickets to the Super Bowl to give to anyone he wanted, said his spokeswoman, Kristi Roehm. Jenkins chose Songster and is paying the travel and hotel expenses in Minneapolis for Songster and his fiancée, said Dan Levy, community relations manager for the Eagles.

It would have been a great PR move to give the tickets to a vet or policeman but instead he gave the tickets to a murderer. No comments from the victim's family were reported.

Seems like there are far more deserving people - people fighting police abuse, helping in the communities. But his tickets, his right to do with them what he pleases.

It’s stories such as this that reinforce my decision to sever any and all ties and support for the FNFL.

National Felon’s League.
Not just a name, but a tradition and a commitment.

Communist thugs entertaining their feral animals....nothing to see here.
The NFL needs to bankrupt and directly into the ash bin of history.

Songster was arrested in September 1987 for the killing of Anjo Pryce inside a drug house in Southwest Philadelphia. Both Songster and Pryce were runaways, lured to Philadelphia to work in Jamaican drug houses.

This is all that we hear about the victim. Two lines. Here is what this guy did from another article:

"Songster and Brome were left in the drug house for hours without food, waiting for Pryce to show up. Dougherty says they were jealous of Pryce's better role in the organization. When he showed up without food and told them they'd have to wait, Brome wound a thin, serrated tree cutter around Pryce's neck, and then Songster attacked him with a survival knife. Pryce's body was found wrapped in plastic bags, wedged in the trunk of his car, blocks from the rowhouse at 58th and Whitby where he had been killed."

Typically predictable.

Or give the tickets to a soldier who lost legs, arms, vision, hearing, etc. in a battle... Or a single parent who is just scraping by and cannot afford tickets. The only time we go to pro sports is if someone gives us tickets. I will not be watching any more NFL games. Really lost their luster when Oilers disbanded long ago anyway...

Google "Nick Foles, Carson Wentz, Christian" and you might actually find some reasons to like the Eagles.

My Super Bowl dream is that 2 hours before kick-off, the sewer system fails and cannot be repaired!
Kneel in that, NFL!
