This is like Election Night

(9,696 posts)No one will be out in the street protesting. No one will loose their insurance (though some might loose money on bets). No one will be stuck at the airport.
Some of us didn't even watch the game - gasp!

(16,201 posts)I was excited at the start of election night, then crushed. This is the opposite.

(115,806 posts)It doesn't mean anything. It's not an omen of anything. It's just a fucking football game, about which millions of people (like me) care nothing at all.
The ads will have much more impact than any stupid football game.

Any white nationalist loving the Patriots for some unknown reason missed that the people who won the game for the team were a Black rookie reciever, two Black pass catching running backs, a Jewish reciever who made a spectacular catch, a White quarterback and an offensive line that has two Black linemen in it - all says diversity to me.

What a great game!

(5,693 posts)It's the Patriots. They've been in everyone's face for 15 years, and the hatred runs deep. So any excuse to jump on them - be it alleged cheating, or friendship (at best) with Trump, is a good excuse to have the vapors. Well, pull up the fainting couches, because the Pats ain't going anywhere anytime soon.
