      The people who would be upset this already stopped watching the NFL after some people kneeled to protest racial inequalities. If a game was on at the bar I remember hearing people telling them to turn it off because it said “end racism” behind the end zone. And somehow they can’t realize that them claiming that “the NFL shouldn’t be political” insinuates one of the parties openly supports racism, but they are upset if you were to call them racist.

        Honestly if I had the money for it and the US wasn’t as shit as it is, I would go to see it for the novelty. I have no idea how American Football is played but I would enjoy the spectacle of the Super Bowl. I bet it is cool to experienc at least once.

          Same. I’ve visited America a lot of times, and the plan for the next visit would have been to go and see a baseball game or American football just to experience it.

          But we’ve vowed not to step foot in America again until TACO and his far right pals are gone.

          It’s a fucking stupid sport that has more ads and downtime than playtime. So, if you wanna pay top dollar for bottom of the barrel budweiser and salt disguised as food while watching 30 minutes of sport in 2 hours, that’s what you’re getting.

    I think it would be great if they stormed the field and just arrested one whole team. “Got money riding on this game, bitches. Good luck in Guatemala or wherever.” Then flip the audience a double bird and walk off the field.

    Like if we’re doing this, let’s just speed run, full mask off.

    I mean great isn’t the right word. But if this motherfucker burns to the ground, I don’t want some Rome bullshit where people are able to kid themselves for like 1000 years. I want them to see within their own lifetimes just how badly they fucked up. I want to see the haunted look in their eyes as bury loved ones and lose homes. This is a nation—indivisible, motherfuckers. Fucking rot in it with me.

    I… I’d better stay off the internet today.

      No, they should wait for halftime. Just when Bad Bunny starts singing they should storm the stage and have Joe Rogan, dressed as an ICE agent, pick him up and body slam him shouting, “This is what you get spic!”

      All of his dancers strip off their clothes revealing they are actually the new ICE dancers. A funky groove starts with some powerful bass backing it up.

      Suddenly thirteen jet fighters fly overhead in a tight formation breaking the sound barrier just after they buzz the stadium.

      Explosive fireworks go off all around the field and an ominous voice shouts out, “Are you ready!”

      Kid Rock dances onto the stage as the new ICE dancers back him up. He shouts into a golden microphone, “We cancelled this woke halftime so Americans can get what they crave!”

      As Kid Rock debuts his newest song “ICE, ICE, Save me” ICE agents arrest Bad Bunny and rough him up on stage for everyone to see. After Kid Rock finishes his set he shouts, “If you are brown it is time to leave town!”

      Finally, the camera pans to an empty bench on the field and we can see the ghost of Hogan side hugging Kirk as they sit together crying in joy at the scene they had just witnessed.

        don’t they have to burn a fascist wizard’s corpse in a bonfire for that to happen? and throw a dance party for little furries?

        None. Not even ADHD meds because it’s a weekend. This is just raw brain squeezings after a rough week at work. Only a couple hours of sleep is probably the issue.

          I started talking mine on the weekend too and I sleep a lot better now. Ignore that this comment was at 2:42 am I just had a new kid and fear the wrath of my post-partum wife for not helping enough at night.

            Gestures around at the chaos and devastation.

            Mate, it’s almost noon and my bed is piled with clothes that have to be folded and I’m sure my daughter hasn’t fed the dogs breakfast. And I am taking her to a lunch with friends in… 2 hours.

            I take those meds for a reason but my body needs a break on weekends.

            My wife was out of town overnight and I went full mania on a project with no one to make me stop. Realized the time at like 3:30AM when the fucking development AI was like, “you need to take a break man. Get some sleep. We’ll pick it back up tomorrow.” What the shit?

                I don’t feel like getting into an internet argument over it, but believe me when I say no. I developed the first version of this over weeks. Well days plus a lot of tweaks and fixes.

                I developed this new version overnight and it does more.

                I’ll credit that if you just said that to every single AI comment you find, you’d be right more often than a coin flip. Just not this time, as it happens.

      You’re 100% right, those are our circuses, even your namesake loved football. If the NFL and college football stopped overnight there would be a lot of pissed off poor people with nothing to do on the weekends and nothing to look forward to during the workweek. The rage would boil over much more quickly than most would expect

        They also wouldn’t have a “good” excuse to drink and would need to own the fact they have a problem, and we can’t have that.

      Seriously. WTF idiot person thinks $2500 nosebleed tickets are what undocumented people are spending money on… Just because Bad Bunny is the halftime show?

      Have these idiots heard of TV? Or are they so busy trying to undo the 20th Century and garggle that Project 2025 dick in hopes of subjugating a tradwife that they forgot all about the talking pictures?

        I’m not sure you know how much landscapers and construction workers can make. ICE Cream Barbie’s threat may keep them from going now, but I know an undocumented laborer that’s gone to the Super Bowl with MUCH better seats AND took their daughters to a Taylor Swift concert in the same year. They also pay their fair share in taxes on their earnings.

          I’m familiar with their wages. My point is that even in a best case scenario for ICE, they might spend $2 million for a photo op with 2 or 4 people arrested. Not that these people give two shits admit how they spend my money.
