The results of the super bowl is as shocking as the results of the 2016

Presidential Election. WTW?

[UTUSN]

1. Yip, 'tis.

2. Seriously? FFS, it was a football game!

It has no political significance whatsoever. It wasn't shocking, it was two teams of overpaid, steroid-filled guys pummeling each other for the purpose of entertainment. One team won. It's completely unimportant. The only thing about that game that had any political import was the ads, and they were far more influential than the stupid game itself.

7. Can you give it a rest?

You are coming across like church lady. In how many threads have you said the same thing "FFS"?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. I'm entitled to my opinion,

which is that all this kvetching about a dumb football game because OMG Trump likes the Patriots and Tom Brady and it's just like the election!! is ridiculous. Don't like my comments, don't read them.

BTW, I used "FFS" only twice, but I can do it again if you want.

[Stinky The Clown]

13. You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

And I'm entitled to mine, which I also stated.

FFS

[Bob Loblaw]

17. It appears

the V. O. cares so little about the game that the V.O. felt it necessary to comment on it a half dozen times FFS.

10. Hahaha...

3. But there was no FBI interference in Superbowl 51. The same cannot be said about the 2016 GE. (eom)

[rockfordfile]

11. Well lol there was that holding call

A holding call was called that took Atlanta out of field goal range. But the Patriots should have been called for a face mask and that would have offset penalties.

4. Damn you Putin!!!!!

[WinkyDink]

5. But with less cheating.

6. My brother who is a cowboys fan and racist called the patriots white americas team

He has always been a cowboys fan but also a bigot. We were over with his family at the watch party and he has decided to label the patriots as "white americas team" when I told him I was white and wanted the patriots to lose he said "real white Americans" I don't know how some one can have so much hate. He knows I don't care much for the sport but even his wife talked about how it was honorable of the patriot leadership to support our president. These people have even ruined sports and if there was another way to keep in touch with family I would never go to my brothers again.

9. Yep a lot of people like them because their big stars are all white nt

[mfcorey1]

18. Brady did not come to the White House with the team when Obama was there.

Let's see if he can drag his story a$# there for Trump.

[bdamomma]

12. Just stop

it's only a game, do we need any more division? There are more important things to focus on. Russia is escalating in East Ukraine, and we need to get our country back.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Thank you.

[jmg257]

14. Not really. Pats were supposed to win...they did.

[yeoman6987]

16. Hardly. I wanted the Pats to win. They are a great team

And if you notice they don't do as well when Brady is not playing. I say Congrats. It is just a game.

[Agschmid]

19. There was nothing shocking about that.

Except that the Patriots planted rather poorly the first three quarters.

[TDale313]

20. Uh, no.

I'm a big sports fan, and I was rooting for Atlanta, but this was nowhere near the shock level of the election. And certainly nowhere near the impact. The more experienced post-season team won. It was a major comeback, but if you'd said before the game that the Patriots pulled it out in overtime no one would have been all that shocked.
