Not watching the Superbowl

[Rhino1]

Wife and I were watching movies instead on Amazon Prime. Happened upon “Taking Chance”, a true story where Kevin Bacon portrays a Marine Officer who performs escort duty for Chance Phelps, Marine KIA in Iraq. What an irony in contrast with the respect from everyone along the way vs the clowns in NFL from owners to players. Excellent movie, no political bias, and highly recommend.
I’ve heard from friends that the National Anthem ceremony was very well done. Pardon my cynicalness, but does anyone else see this as merely damage control by NFL?

A friend of mine posted the coin toss online, and yes...I think it's damage control.

“Taking Chance” is an excellent movie and highly recommended.

I saw that 15 Medal of Honor recipients participated in the coin toss, including the sole living MOH recipient from WW2.

Any one of those men is worth more than the entire NFL.

Damage is done, lip service by the NFL. Let me know when the NFL stops charging the military for the honoring veterans and the country who allows them the freedom to play their games.

Philadelphia won, fans responded by riots and destroying businesses. Why would any city want to win a major league sports championship?


In fairness Houston and Dallas have won some championships and left the city intact. Some cities have real pride, others are crapholes.

Any city that riots should be banned from any play for a year and from any playoff games for a decade.

Philadelphia knew ahead of time the thugs would riot if they won because the greased their light polls so the clowns could not climb them.

We walked the dog.

And why are we surprised that Philadelphia rioted?

I would be tickled pink if Trump has enough respect to not invite the whining team to the White House.

I'm not holding my breath.

What's the big deal? Presidents Bush and Eisenhower were cheerleaders in college.

No additional reasons needed. Plenty already. Still not watching and no plans to do so.

No problem with him at all... Takes some nerve to break new ground... Takes talent to get the job. I wish him success.

I won't be watching however, since I prefer my football without the political sideshow.

He's very clean cut and professional looking compared to many of the players.
