Can anyone get Kaepernick a sideline ticket so he can kneel the entire game. That would ruin Donnie's night

They would wheel out a goddamn trebuchet to eject him about it.
Not going to happen but one or both sides refusing to play would be a massive “Fuck you!” To Trump and let the NFL know who they should be beholden to. Wouldn’t even take every player, just most of a side.
You're right, that isn't going to happen 😉
Also, keep in mind that every position has at least one backup
True but who is going to tune in to a bunch of backups playing?
Well, admittedly I imagined that developing game night when everyone has already tuned in, but you're right that that's not necessarily the case. Still, the parties at home are already planned and at that point you might as well have the game on anyway because those who really care about football will want their last fix anyway
I mean, wouldn't the game not happening be such a big deal that even people who aren't normally interested would tune in just to see all the drama? I never watched it, but if such a protest happened I would likely be interested to see that.
Most of these players are probably of the "I got mine" mindset. They're not going to blow that up for ethics
Yeah, but people tune into the game to watch the best players in the game that season. Backups playing against backups would be horrible (though prob funny to watch).
However, they'd kind of be scabs in that case, and fuck scabs.
Can you imagine having to explain that, though?
Nothing would stop someone who made it to the Superbowl to not play. Especially since many (most?) of them probably support him. I know the Chiefs kicker Butker does. They're rich as hell you know.
I'm hoping Kendrick covers Fuck Donald Trump at the Halftime show. Won't happen, but a man can dream.
Kendrick Lamar is headlining the halftime show. I wonder if he'll try anything political?
I really really hope so. Kendrick is one of very few artists that I respect that are also big enough to be in the Super Bowl. He at least has a couple songs that mention Trump, maybe he'll perform one.
I hope he has printed T shirt of Trump and Epstien that he reveals during 'not like us'.
He would definitely think of a better statement to make but it's such a production idk what he can really do cus it would have to be stealthy
Nah, not really his style at all
Bootlickers the lot of them
I won't even watch the ads this year.
Are you really watching another KC super bowl? Who cares
Honestly, I haven't watched it in many years, this is my excuse this year.
Remember when the Super Bowl was about football?! Fucking crazy, right?
Never did. I wish I could boycott something I already don't give a fuck about, but....
B-B-But they're putting, "Choose Love" bc BoTh ArE tHe SaMe!!!
Trump will assume it means to love him.
Dipshit kept saying his terrorists attacking the Capitol on J6 was a "day of love".
has either side upped the minimum wage, done universal healthcare, chosen workers over corporations, paid the jackboots less, upped the education funds, protected Mother Earth
then both sides are the same
I didn't know both sides tried to overthrow the government. Also have never seen anyone fo in and dismantle the government so fast before. Must have missed that.
One side didn't create the biggest step stone to universal Healthcare since medicare/Medicaide. One side isn't trying to remove the department of education. One side isn't actively removing environmental regulations. One side didn't cause an insurrection. Both sides aren't perfect, but one side sure as hell wants to watch the world burn.
Not the same, but
BotH SIdeS FOH.
Sorry for your loss.
The best Dems can do is damage control. The Republicans are actively doing damage though.
bOtH sIdEs is such a bill maher take its just reeks of divorced dad energy it's sad.
Donald Trump’s plan to make history by being the first sitting president to attend.
I mean, what else does he have going on? Everyone knows this is Musk’s presidency. He paid $277mil for it ~~fair and square~~.
Not even a dollar per citizen, orange turd got ripped off.
Look at how big that football looks in that tiny hand.
To be fair, have you ever held an NFL regulation-sized football? Those things are fucking massive. Most QB's hands are just monstrously large so it doesn't look as big
That's ok. We have FIFA organizing world cups in arab dictatorships saying they are promoting women's rights, so why should the NFL be different? In the end, for these assholes it's all about money. They never cared about racism, they only faked caring because there was money in "fighting" racism.
'Weird' is what they called Elons Nazi salute too. It's not the correct term I feel.
Great now he's going to ruin the Super Bowl too while he's at it. He went to the World Series too. Sports are supposed to be an escape. Can't he (and musk) leave anything alone?
What's there to ruin wtf
Well there's my other reason for not watching the bullshit game we're getting this year, the other reasons of course being fuck the Eagles and FUUUUUUUCK the Chiefs
This is catering to the king of snowflakes.
