With all due respect;if you are already boycotting or have stopped watching the NFL this thread is not directed at you. You have seen the light and know what the power of the people can do. I am hoping to reach others who year after year take the leftist rubbish that get thrown at us conservatives and remain silent. This is their biggest stage and could be our biggest moment. / end of annual vanity post

Very few ordinary folk get tickets. The tickets are distributed to corporate NFL sponsors, teams, etc.

I’ve planned a Super Bowl Party without the Super Bowl...

Sorry...it’s the last game...

I’m going to watch...

The fact Brady is a Trump supporter must make New England libtards heads explode...

That alone is a good enough reason...

So, when are we going to call for boycotts of Ford, Microsoft, Apple, et al, because they give far, FAR more money and legitimacy to liberal causes that are far more damaging to this country than some dipstick black power wannabe like Kapernick. And certainly more money than the NFL.

Just curious. We want to be consistent, right?

So, are Ford and Microsoft the next? All conservatives should not use Ford and Microsoft products, right?

” If you really want to send a message to them that we do not want to have your politics mixed with our football”

So you decide that we mix our politics with football? Amazing what hypocrisy.

How will “they” know that I am or am not watching?

New England Patriots fans have supported team owner Robert Kraft and quarterback Tom Brady through on-field controversies and off-field battles against the league, but it seems the support from the fanbase stops short of the political sphere.

Both Kraft and Brady have ties to Republican candidate Donald Trump; Brady famously had a “Make America Great Again” hat in his locker during the 2015 season and referred to Trump as a friend in interviews late in the 2015 campaign. On the eve of Super Tuesday, Kraft joined Brady in the Trump camp when he spoke highly of his own friendship with Trump to the Boston Globe.

Although neither Brady nor Kraft officially endorsed Trump, their actions were met by a hefty dose of disapproval from a typically liberal-leaning Massachusetts fanbase.

And, headline in the Boston Globe:

Patriots owner Robert Kraft says Donald Trump will be ‘great’ for the economy

I’ve boycotted this year, save two games, and really considering the Super Bowl. Chances are, I’ll view portions of the game, but not sit down, or go to a bar or party, for the game. Fug ‘em all!

I can’t boycott. I’ve not seen a superbowl in decades.

The first football game I have watched in at least five years was this year’s Rose Bowl. When I watched any pro sports, I began to feel the hand of the teams in my pocket. They blackmail politicians into building their sand boxes with taxpayer money, and then charge outrageous prices for the tickets.

I won’t be watching the superbowl this year.

Screw the NFL and screw ESPN. I despise these organizations as much as the main stream media. I have strong principles and I stand by them. Just like I no longer go to movie theaters to support movie actors. There’s enough college football to satisfy my interest.

Just a question is Roger Goodell married to Jane Goodell the communist hack masquerading as a journalism professor that would occasionally appear on the O’Really show? It would explain a lot.

I’m a huge Pats fan & will watch it to see Roger Goodell die of embarrassment when he has to stand next to Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick & Tom Brady after handing them the Lombardi Trophy as Super Bowl Champions again..

I’ll also take comfort in Trump welcoming them to the White House in April after Brady snubbed Obama two years ago declining his invitation after the Patriots’ last Super Bowl victory...Go Pats!

Uuuuuhh... No.

Any inkling from me about turning off the Tube and boycotting the NFL with the Pats in the Superbowl (again) and I'll have a very-conservative-but-now-pissed-New-England-Koala-in-Patriots-pajamas-with-an-AR chasing me around the house.

I'll battle elsewhere and take my chances with you guys disowning me.
Good luck and thankyaverymuch.d;^)

I don’t know about Atlanta, but I know the Pats have been focused on football this year. None of that horseshit that you see on other teams.

Love or hate Brady, he is a trump guy and he is simply concerned with making Roger Goodell hand him the Lombardi trophy. Or will ole RG have Teddy Bruschi hand it over to him as they did with the Hunt Trophy.

For that reason alone, it will be worth watching.
