Hamilton' cast to sing at Super Bowl 51

I just saw that yesterday. I’ll be watching more. I do the same thing on a much smaller scale with motorcycles.

Just wait until Trump pulls the plug on the Military paying the NFL for half time shows.

Jerry Jones will be crying like a little girl.

[Carthego delenda est]

“They can take their pigskin and shove it.”

Speaking of “pigskin”, wonder how Falcon’s wide receiver, Mohamed Sanu, justifies his whole livelihood of trying to move a pig part, something “unclean” that he shouldn’t be handling, from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’ with his Muslim faith?

Good to see the Trump hating libs are well represented. Why make it political.

[aquila48]

They’re singing pre-game not half time.

[stellaluna]

Is Roger Goodell trying to damage the NFL because either he is incompetent or he’s doing it all deliberately.

Did you notice that Beyonce’s troupe consists ENTIRELY of very light-skinned “black” women? I don’t think it’s a coincidence, but that in her world darker skin is considered inferior.

"I'm hardly surprised. The NFL hates America."

All season long, the NFL has been promoting vignettes of how various players - and the league - are "giving back to the community" via various charitable foundations (giving, as the Bible says, from their vast, surplus and for the applause of men).

Meanwhile, three franchises have been yanked from their fan base, not for lack of fan support, but because the cities won't fork over new billion-dollar stadiums.

Fantastic show! Hope they make more. The second episode deals with a man who discovered a Battle of Britain veteran Hawker Hurricane moldering in India and ships it back to Britain. He refurbishes antique cars, so you might find that episode especially interesting.

The NFL gratitiously has approved my absence for the viewing of SB51. I have to plug some gopher holes or sumthin’..

This is true in Latin America, too.

[Texas Eagle]

Why, Mr. Goddell?

Because he doesn't want The NFL to lose its non-profit status.

Wait a minute. Barky is no longer Preezy.

Yank The NFL's non-profit status, President Trump!

[Captain Peter Blood]

I think I will skip the Super Bowl this year.

My interest in College and NFL games has dwindled since my Father died earlier this month. I enjoyed being with him and watching, but it isn’t the same and my interest has been waning the last several years anyway.

I long for the 1960’s and 1970’s when I was young and growing up, those games held more interest and so did the players. I would gladly watch a Cable Channel that reran old games from that era with the original announcers. What fun that would be.

Today’s NFL is just an abomination.

[Grams A]

Was in the city this morning and saw a couple of homemade banners attached to the overpasses on 59 just east of the Greenbriar exit. Kind of hard to read but said something about city spending millions on the super bowl and zero on its citizens.

Also understand police are really upset because construction crews have blocked and are filling potholes on some of the streets downtown. Where is the new police chief’s angst over the shootings this week in the Galleria area?

Traffic was a whole lot lighter this morning than usual. Maybe those in the area are/can send a message to the Mayor that folks don’t support all the brouhaha over the super bowl.

[Reily]

It’s not non-profit status. I guarantee the owners make plenty of profit. It exemption from antitrust laws.
Congress through legislation has allowed pro sports to be a legal monopoly.

Maybe that shouldn’t be the case! Anyway Trump can’t do it with an EO. It would require legislation.

[Spok]

My plans for Superbowl Sunday will not include watching any football. I hope the Hamilton cast uses the opportunity to inject more politics into the NFL. Like so many institutions have become, professional football will be of, by and for liberals only. They can have it.

Most look moderately dark to me. Definitely not very light.

However,...

El Che: The Crass Marketing of a Sadistic Racist

By Mike Gonzalez

(snip)

Che Guevara was a racist who specifically held blacks in contempt.

I think about this often when I see deluded young African-Americans wearing a t-shirt with his likeness. ..."

As for Guevara's views on race, he did not mince words.

After the Revolution's victory in 1959, he famously said, "We're going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing."

And no, it wasn't just hard feelings over how Cuban blacks had supported the biracial dictator Fulgencio Batista. With Guevara it was more of a conviction, as we can glean from another quote.

Speaking of blacks he [Che] said: "The ***** is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent." ..."

There was such a public thing made out of their disrespecting VP Pence, that their mere appearance is already a statement, even if they say nothing at this event. Sort of like if Hitler appeared at some event and had good manners and didn’t outright say anything anti-Jewish - still, just his invite would “speak” even in silence. It is a huge middle finger whether they say anything or not at this point. Consider all the performers that were threatened with death if they innocently consented to perform at the inauguration.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

Bad choice. Yuck.
