You can't fart around him pretty much. Other quarterbacks don't get the protection he does for sure.

It ridiculous to think that New England based DUers won’t root for the local team despite the asshole owner.

It's a sport. It's fans rooting for the home team. It doesn't affect rights or laws or taxes. It's just pride in a region/city. And honestly, with all of my friends rooting for them as well, I'm fine fitting in. It makes it more fun.

Yep, Brady was a Trumpian fuck nut. But all that matters is can he win the game for regional pride?

Kroenke married Ann Walton, a Walmart heiress, in 1974. He founded the Kroenke Group in 1983, a real estate development firm that has built shopping centers and apartment buildings. He has developed many of his plazas near Walmart stores.[5]

He is also the chairman of THF Realty, an independent real estate development company that specializes in suburban development. He founded this corporation in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1991. In 2016, THF's portfolio was valued at more than $2 billion, including more than 100 projects totaling 20 million square feet, primarily in retail shopping centers.[7]

Which is why when the Rams came back to LA I wasn't excited about it. He's a pig too.

However, the Patriots coach and quarterback are also loyal trumpie fans and vocal about it. I honestly want them both to lose since one side is worse than the others I'll say go Rams.

AND that does not excuse Kraft that there are plenty of other fascist NFL owners. My complaint was how he supposed to be such a good liberal then he says that crap on FOX.

We know he doesn't care about the "little people" who were out a paycheck. But his owner buddies and advertisers stood to lose a lot with travel disruptions and a loss of viewership resulting from the shutdown.

Jared Goff’s great grandfather used to live next door to me, and Jared was only two when “Al” died.
He would have been so proud of Jared.
