After seeing Trump win the Presidency and what he has done in 2 weeks I am not keen on watching fascism win again so I am not watching the game.
The Pats are probably more hated now than previously since their history of scandalous cheating (spygate, deflate gate) is now tinged with the whiff of fascist politics as Trump is good buddies with the owner, coach, and QB.
Atlanta can fill the role of the underdog who has never won the SB but lets face reality: this is the NFL so all teams are owned by some klepto-arch.
At any rate, politics aside, I just cannot watch the NFL anymore.
It's a gigantic bore. Although I suspect this is an age thing since I find all sports now to be unenjoyable to watch except perhaps live.
With all that, for those of you who do care about football and/or don't care about the political tinge, who are you rooting for?
How/where and with who are you going to watch the game?
Most importantly, what are you going to eat and drink during the game?
I will live vicarioulsy through you as I climb 100 stories on a stairmaster watching some unknown foreign movie downloaded from Netflix.
