Democrats like Obama should be leading HUGE amphitheater events denouncing fascism and this corrupt administration. People are FIRED UP. Use the power of rallies for good and not just campaign funds. Let’s get to it!
Both him and his family gave this country 8 yrs of their lives. It is time for citizens and other people we have elected to stand up and defend this country against fascism. Obama was a great president but he is not a messiah and people need to stop depending on one.
Bring giant banners condemning Coup 2.0 or Musk , Theil , Vance or one of the minor actors like Trump.
Unfurl them individually timed for the Camera Pans on the audience.
Players delay taking the field ( far past what is comfortable )
You think there will be decent human beings at the Super Bowl? It’s going to be a bunch of rich white men and they’re showing us exactly how decent they are and how much they care what we think about it.
I’m excited for how massively inconvenience they will be by all of the security protocols. I’m sure it’s going to make this a very worthwhile expense for them.
If you're watching the Superbowl, which we don't plan on. They won't show any booing. Or negativity towards him. We'll have to rely on people there with their phones.
Excuse me but…… I have had the wonderful opportunity to go to 3 super bowls. I am not rich, I am not a male and as far as I know, because of the kind way I tray people, I am a decent human. There were lots of women. I am going to listen on the radio.😊
My husband bought my first and he doesn’t like football but it was my 40th birthday and we lost🤣the next two times I paid for my own. The girls from work all went together. Oh boy, you’re a fun one.😊
Elon bought a Gillian commercial spots. Supposedly to show us all the material the Judge just ordered him and his Muskrats to burn. Probably makes airing any of his stolen documents illegal. Wonder what the network will do?
Agreed. But with a team that still has a racist name and does the "tomahawk chop," a league that says "end racism" is too radical, and prominent players talking about how happy they are that Felon Trump will be present, I don't know if it will happen.
We'll have a Jesse Owens before Hitler opportunity today. What message will the athletes and celebrities give? “End Racism” vs. “Choose Love.”,,, there’s no competition here at all. It’s “End Racism” by a mile." Steve Buckley, NYTimes https://bit.ly/42N1pAU
Let’s hope that this great opportunity is seized! If the orange moron is allowed to set foot in Scotland to visit his environmental disaster of a golf course, I will be there protesting in the style of the late, great Jane Godley!
Let's add in the fact that they took away the "end racism" in the end zone for the Chiefs in a city that is 57% black or African American just to appease the orange Jesus.
My phone keybord makes a ❤ instead of the redheart but not in my sms texts. I disabled all my keyboard to factory. But not fixed. Somethingwonky on this site
Knowing those crackpots, if people did that they would have everyone detained or arrested. I wish I could say it would make a difference, but it probably wouldn’t.
That describes a dictator…he’ll, I’d do it regardless of the probability- this will only get worse if there’s no risks taken to stand up to them…our democracy wasn’t created without sacrifice - we must stand together to KEEP our democracy
Throughout history, this kind of public ridicule has proven effective against dictators. Mussolini was especially weakened by open ridicule and mockery. The Fascists' lifeblood is a fake, contrived image of strength. That describes trump to a "t". Corrode that and they fall apart every time.
idk if he has the base of extrajudicial support among city cops to do something like that.
while it’s a bit cheesy, i think a mass protest by superbowl attendees would be pretty cool. only thing is they paid for tickets to watch the superbowl so they’re probably gonna do that.
Trump going to the superbowl concerns me. He never went to them before and they just removed End Racism for him. Then with Kendrick performing and Taylor Swift in the crowd... I just think he's going there to stir pots and deflect from what Elmo is doing. I worry that it will add to culture tension.
I have NBA season tickets and walk out to the concourse during the NA. I can't listen without crying.
People stand and cheer for it like everything is normal. And I live in a blue bubble. I don't think people realize that this isn't their grandma's 🇺🇸 anymore.
An empty stadium would send a much better message. Same for a viewer boycott so the ratings are in the toilets after the billionaires spend billions trying to get us to kiss their ass. Boycott the Super Bowl!
If you really want to take a knee, don't go to the super bowl and don't watch it on television.
The only thing people like Trump and Elon Musk understand is money. The most powerful thing we can do is stop spending it.
Thanks for the concern. Hat tip to Trudeau's response on tariffs. If Canadians stop buying Kentucky booze, then that may remind the voters of Kentucky that their support of Trump has consequences.
-
Some of us in USA are still grateful for Canadian help with air traffic control on 9/11/01.
Good to hear. We should all buy from Canada. 🇨🇦
I'm in KY and work at a barber shop with a couple of loser maga barbers and I've been switching off between wearing my Canadian flag shirt and Mexican Flag shirt for the past week. 🇨🇦 🇲🇽
My husband was a crew controller for TWA on 9/11. The entire staff in his department was grateful for Canadian ATC assistance - and everything else Canada did to help.
I am 82 & an American who voted against Trump. I love Canada & have friends there. Before Trump 2016, America didn’t have his chaos, our government ran smoothly, citizens respected each other. I could travel without being called The Ugly American. Trump has divided & destroyed my country. So sad!
I hope he is audibly and unquestionably booed. But the people who can afford tickets might be in his side… so… we’ll see. I hope the halftime show at least burns him then.
Speaking of knees, Butker's plant leg must be starting to tingle with Spidey Sense as we approach kick-off. I'm not saying I know of a bounty being offered, but still
I may be prejudiced, but with ticket prices what they are, I think it's safe to say that the NFL serves the demographic of the 1%. I say this becauae as a FORMER 49er fan, my city failed to support Collin Kaepernik when he took a knee, and the silence was deafening.
What about taking a knee for the game? I would refuse to play until "End Racism" is placed back into the end zones and the POS leaves the stadium. Then I will tune in.
Mike Johnson already said that hig god spoke to him & said he was the new Moses. Then again mental facilities are filled with Napoleons so why not a few guys parting the Red Sea.
It is really interesting research. It confirms what I have suspected for a long time. Religious indoctrination, especially from childhood, harms mental development. Faith has always been antithetical to critical thinking.
I am a veteran and there is no way I would stand for the national abthem right now. I did not serve my country for it to be taken over by a fascist regime.
I hope you are also boycotting the superbowl, a grotesque display of overspending on ridiculous ads (the cost of which will be passed to consumers) by the corporations that bought that fascist's way back into office.
I do a lot of consulting work in the govt/municipal sector...in Florida. Almost every public meeting begins with the pledge of allegiance and I have not been participating. It hasn't gone unnoticed, but no one has said anything to me yet. I was just thinking about the national anthem conundrum.
Generations of my family served honorably in this country’s military, countless families have given their best lives and efforts to keep our democracy safe. This new fascist oligarchy is a grievous insult to our bravest patriots. Should the US empire invade, I will volunteer for the opposition.
Exactly. I keep thinking about both of my grandfathers who fought in WWII. This is not what they fought for, and they would be disgusted right now, no matter their social views.
Thank you. My Dad and uncles youth was sacrificed to the fight against Fascism in WWII. Dad fought in France and Southern Italy. Two uncles buried in Normandy, one maimed for life. I'm SO angry at America right now but grateful for you.
What they should do is not go and all the players that are not Caucasian shouldn’t show up after the NFL took the end racism out of the end zone! Fuck the @nflbluesky.bsky.social
They didn't want to upset the Toddler Tyrant. I'm so sick of these cowards kowtowing to that immature, feckless moron. Why anyone is afraid of a 78 yr old, incontinent, lazy, demented, blowhard is beyond me. It's time for Democrats to stand against the Toddler Tyrant party.
I don’t blame you! Absolutely FDJT!!! The NFL ditching DEI has been misunderstood & widely spread around the internet. I hope people boo DJT & everyone takes a knee!!
Agree with your comment.
Bullies as he is, should be stood up to at every opportunity and very publicly.
If only Garland had held him to the law.
But, here WE are now!
And give the Orange Leader a thunderous boo. So loud that it be forever remembered as the ‘shout heard around the world’ and signify the beginning of the end of the Trump era.
Without question....but, the uncomfortable moment that would take place on live television, worldwide, as a result of (potentially) hundreds of people opting to leave, instead of bein the presence of that ---hole, would be impossible to 'spin'....
One of those tickets would pay my mortgage for 2-5 months or more. I can't imagine having that kind of money to blow on a fucking football game. PLUS transportation. PLUS parking. PLUS snacks.
The life of the wealthy is an unknown to people like me.
Well, not all of the tickets are in that price range. Believe me, I've had friends who've managed to go to a couple of Super Bowls, and they didn't have that kind of money, either.
Every decent human being at the Super Bowl should Boo mango mussolini. And fuck the NFL. How are these people that make billions in profit have an S corp, a nonprofit a designation
You have a bunch of millionaires beating the shit out of each other for a bunch of billionaires, so we can watch and give our money to the billionaires, soon to be trillionaires.
IMO Trump hears National Anthem=musical call=ALL Hail King Trump. I fear he'll consider taking a knee now as surrender & acknowledgement of his RULE. HE's a New York gutter slug rolled in gold glitter. Speak his language. BOO!!! HISS!!!! FILL the air with very loud Bronx salutes. Repeat-repeat.
All you have to do....is turn your back to him and be silent. It is succinct, poignant, and no matter where you are in the world, everyone knows what you've just done. Many have done it around the world and it makes headlines everytime.
Yes! Anyone on a live mike has the chance to comment on the 'end racism' signs getting removed and the obvious struggles and contributions of black players. The players contract forbids taking a knee but if there's no sign of pushback I'll be disappointed. Looking at you Kendrick! and Nike!
Again John proves his lack of brain power. There ARE NO decent humans at the right wing rally. The decent are all boycotting. Youre not boycotting. Youre literally q shit eating son of a bitch
True, they’re certainly not enslaved peoples fighting for their freedom at the cost of their lives, but, y’know, I feel like the “fall of Rome” part still applies
I'm curious what the Venn diagram looks like between MAGA voters and NFL football fans? So I did a search and found this article. There may be more people kneeling than what you'd think.
This is an older article, but if this still stands true, the players all taking a knee would indeed impress their fans .. who it seems per this are blue leaning.
NFL removes "End Racism" from the field.. So, what's next? No more DEI hires for the NFL..? How many players will that leave us? 😂 Just kidding y'all... Kinda 🤔
I don’t really expect these individuals on these teams to see the greater good that action would accomplish - ya know because there are still folks saying wait and see -
While we all have seen enough
All the people of the world need to unite and never allow fascist leaders. We all need to support each other’s countries who are fighting against them. We have no space for them. We need to protect the environment and the people.❤️
One can cheer for the Eagles AND not watch the game.
One can purchase Eagles merchandise AND not watch the game.
One can go to Philly for a cheesestesk AND not watch the game.
Seriously though, what is the least likely, nationally broadcast show airing during SB time slot that we could just absolutely boost the ratings through the roof?
Well, it's the opposite of what you're supposed to do during the national anthem, which is to stand. If you might remember, or check, Colin Kaepernick knelt during the anthem and got into trouble as a result. It was a type of protest that he was making. Knelling would be a form of protest. IMHO.
Musk and his henchmen are performing illegal activities and must be held accountable. Federal departments, their programs and their funding are under Congressional purview, not private citizens! This is a coup and must be stopped by all means necessary!
Kneeling was about protesting the real and serious problem of police brutalizing African Americans, but piece of shit libs like you made it all about defying trump and it’s lost all of its meaning now
This has been brewing since before the election. Imagining Trump creating lists of how best to screw over the entire country. Today, he's after PBS. And we received a package from Spain that had a surcharge tacked on.
I so wish that would happen. But let’s be real….the only people who can afford to go to a Super Bowl are rich people or corporations. They all worship him. 🤮
Yup, same here. Seen every super bowl with my wife since '96. We've got a Neilson box, no fucking way we're not using it to make a point this year, especially with Trump there, and likely having at least one pre-recorded fascist rant like he did for the NCAA football championships.
Don’t give a rats ass about NFL football. But this is actually the only reason I might tune in. I would love to see him booed. To see him without the sheltering of his handlers, loudly, authoritatively, and humiliatingly booed.
I won’t watch. The announcers showing their fealty to the tangerine tyrant will make me 🤮&🤯.
I’ll watch highlights for the boos & commercials once it’s over.
Watch the replay online. If it happens, it will go viral and you won't be able to avoid it. Please join those boycotting the nazi show entirely and don't give them the support of another number in their viewership stats. They'll only use it to brag how many people watched trump's Superbowl.
This would be interesting- I guess it will be news whichever way it goes. Cheers drowning out the boos versus the other way around? People will talk about what that says about America’s real feelings of current events. On here it seems mostly against Trump… but that’s a pretty small window 🤔
Not a single decent human being would ever take a knee for the National Anthem, but they will denounce the existence that "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is NOT an alternate National Anthem.
Thanks for your time, you may now return to hating America.
Too bad tickets to the Super Bowl are that expensive. I'd love to see the stadium at less than capacity. Apparently there are some tix still available at... well, see for yourself
Oh man, I had EXACTLY that thought!!!
Imagine BOTH teams, EVERY player, taking the knee just before the kick off!!
Could we get Colin Kaepernick to sing the anthem? 🤣
I know it ain't gonna happen, but a man can dream, can't he!? 😁
One nation under God, right? Not like God needs it, but Trump can always use some very public demonstration to him, moreso every day, what a flawed soul he is being.
Your country is on its knees, these are not normal times, extraordinary things need to happen to make a statement, you cannot normalise what’s happening! Boycott the Super Bowl and and any business and company that supports trump and his policies! Your country is on fire, don’t be complicit!
We can and will beat these guys IF WE SPEAK WITH ONE VOICE. People want to be engaged but do not know what to do. PROOF? We launched a TikTok campaign (#iamthem) 2 days ago to provide “a home” for the resistance. RESULT? 17,000 followers and nearly 100,000 engagements. JOIN US #iamthem
OMG that would be so awesome I’m don’t follow football so I don’t know what teams are playing but it would be awesome if Taylor Swift would bend the knee in the middle of the field fuck it it would be amazing if all
Every decent human being should stand tall, proud and place their hand over their heart while singing our National Anthem. Anyone on the field who does not should be prohibited from the field during the game.
I stand to boo and spit at it. Down with the 4th Reich and the Slave-State Constitution that preceded it. Let the decline and fall and the bloody Résistance commence.
I’m not watching. Protesting the nfl removing the diversity from the chiefs endzone AND Mahommes’ & Kelce’s comments about the first felon being at the game. As a chiefs fan, I can’t participate.
Elon is obsessed with creating as many white offspring with his DNA as possible. He's a white supremacist. He's keeping his kids from 2 of their mothers because they refuse to live in his sister wives compound.
I'm amazed at the seeming lack of any public push back by "famous" people, sports people, etc. They will soon find themselves without incomes if current situation continues

Trump 2028.
Do you think Philly is Trumpy? Have you taken leave of your senses?
But dont fear, im sure there will be plenty there fully intending when they do so.
Ether they will pan the cameras away. Or theyll normalize it. But itll be there.
Let's see how long that orange bastard stays at the arena.
There's a glitch made to start some race wars. How nice of them
while it’s a bit cheesy, i think a mass protest by superbowl attendees would be pretty cool. only thing is they paid for tickets to watch the superbowl so they’re probably gonna do that.

Is it too late for a viral campaign and flying him to the stadium? 😁
Is he even planning to attend? And, imo, there are WAY more deserving people of having trash and 💩 thrown at them.
I see them.
Better yet, DO NOT GO, or watch it on TV.
If they tune in tomorrow and see it they and Trumpers heads will explode!!!!!!
