Seriously. Mummers Parades go back to 1901 officially and no one knows how long unofficially...there are complaints about it through the 1800s and they may well go back to the 1700s.

It’s the oldest folk parade in the United States. FOLK parade. Plumbers, electricians, salt-of-the-earth people who get together and learn their parts. Not some corporate ad gimmick like the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade.

It’s a classic and authentically American tradition. But the national media never gave a rat’s patoot about it.

I condemn the vulgarity as well, but you’re pretty much proving Kelce’s point with that crack against what he’s wearing. If you don’t like it, well we don’t care. We have our traditions and we’re proud of them.

Sorry for my comments!
Far be it for me to deride another’s heritage. Just never heard of “Mummers” and not with the SB!
Just thought it was another “look at me” “I'm Out” group celebration.

As with the “kneelers” I thought it was another “aggrieved group” “seeking attention”.

Many Pardons!
