Super Bowl Poll!!!

Who are you rooting for in the Super Bowl???

You may or may not know that the Patriots are surrogates for Trump, and the Falcons are surrogates for the Trump opposition (also their fan base is a huge black community in Atlanta, and their representative is John Lewis-D).

It's being played in Houston, which is very pro-immigrant too!

the team becomes a surrogate for Trump... that's what a couple media outlets are saying anyway.

Obviously it's silly, but for people who already dislike the Patriots, it's more reason to dislike them. Sucks if you are a Patriots fan.

Unlike the regular season, postseason games can't end in tie. So if the game is tied after that first 15-minute overtime period, they'll play as many 15-minute overtime periods as necessary... Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, February, March.....

belicheck, brady and kraft are 3 votes. Georgia went for trump by 230,000 votes. Clinton won NE by a landslide. People on this high horse that NE losing is a loss for trump really need to get off it.

Huge GOP doner.

Both teams bank role Trump.

Stop with this false meme about the Patriots being the only Pro Trump team.

And go Falcons!

this pro-Trump meme has been going around, so I thought it'd be fun to see what people thought. And of course NE Pats are very unpopular except in NE.

But yeah, the NFL is a billionaires game-- they are the ones who benefit the most from it

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool lifelong Steelers fan, & am sick to death of Belicheat & Pretty Boy Tom Brady. Big Ben is every bit as good, but gets none of the accolades!

Plus, I've lived in Atlanta since 1989. I'm with my Falcon fan friends today.
