Go, Iggles!

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

I am PRAYING very hard that Philly wins, the state won Trump the election, God Bless their team today!!!!

I took the prop bet that the Eagles have more penalty yards than the Patriots.

I WON'T BE WATCHING.

NO NFL, INCLUDING THE SUPER BOWL.

Good to know the EAGLES have several Christians and that the team never kneeled.

I don't care which team ultimately wins, but I won't mind learning that Tom Terrific won his 6th. I know he works hard for his successes.

I'll just hope for an injury-free game and a game that's free from controversial calls from the refs that effect the final score.

[onyx]

Excellent point!

[M Kehoe]

Yep.

“... I am PRAYING very hard that Philly wins ...”

I doubt that GOD is concerned who wins the game.

[Midnitethecat]

The game is no different then the final match in Wrestlemania.

[dfwgator]

God’s too busy following the English Premier League, anyway.

It's over 80 degrees here (San Diego) today.
I'm taking my French Bulldog, Louie to the beach right now.

The Eagles have one of the anthem kneeling ringleaders on their team this year.

The NFL keeps trying to burnish its image, and I’m still not listening. I hope the National Felons League fails miserably.

[Pining_4_TX]

Nice catch! So they didn’t kneel but gave the black power salute instead. A pox on all of them. I hope cops stop answering calls in the ghetto. Let them keep shooting each other.

[catbertz]

I did not know this fact. Thanks for giving me new respect for my home town team! Fly Eagles Fly. (Though I’m not watching)

[NTegraT]

I am not watching. Don’t care who wins. The NFL already lost.

[nicollo]

Shouldn’t matter which player on which team took a knee or not: what matters is that the NFL, as an organization, supported and condoned the kneelers, so all NFL teams are equally complicit.

[photodawg]

Some of the Eagles did display black power clenched fist salutes during anthems, so they are not all clean on this.

This issue is not about individual players and stand v kneel headcounts. IT IS ABOUT THE NFL ALLOWING PLAYERS TO DECIDE WETHER TO STAND OR KNEEL. No player has a right to set employment conditions. The league took millions from the US Military to have anthem ceremonies for which the players and the teams honored the American military and were required to stand at attention on sidelines with helmet in hand. The league refused to enforce the rule and hid behind the first amendment . It isn’t a first amendment issue it is a working conditions issue. The league is now SJW. They have ruined their product and shit on their customers. they will get what they deserve. Free people, free markets. If the product is no longer worth watching, the customer will no longer buy it.
Interestingly, Justin Timberlake, the half time entertainment was quoted as saying “I will never let my son play football” The league will be eaten alive by embracing PC cultural marxism. “When the revolution comes “The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.” Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
