Its fucking hyperbole.

[Stinky The Clown]

The OP said:

This is like Election Night

Fuck

That elicited your replies as if obvious hyperbole was said with seriousness. Get a fucking grip, people.

Yes, Its only a game.

[DODI]

1. Agreed

I am sick

[demmiblue]

2. Not so much. n/t

[Trust Buster]

3. Nope, it's just a football game.

[Merlot]

5. Yes. It won't change anyones life.

No one will be out in the street protesting. No one will loose their insurance (though some might loose money on bets). No one will be stuck at the airport.

Some of us didn't even watch the game - gasp!

[Stinky The Clown]

6. Ohferkrissakes.

[Agschmid]

10. Yup.

[GoCubsGo]

4. Glad I turned it off.

[rollin74]

7. I was just thinking the same thing

[Hassin Bin Sober]

8. Except my rights are not on the chopping block.

[bravenak]

9. Not as bad

[NutmegYankee]

11. Not even close.

I was excited at the start of election night, then crushed. This is the opposite.

[briv1016]

12. Mildly disappointed at most.

No one is going to die over this. (Unless they owe money to the wrong people.)

[mvd]

13. I'll be disappointed

But election night was crushing. I won't carry that kind of anxiety over the game. Even if my Eagles blew it, I would not.

[liberal N proud]

14. I had a similar thought.

[joshcryer]

15. For some, emotionally, I urge you to just view it as a game.

And realize that the Patriots made an incredible comeback. Beyond incredible. They deserve to win if they do it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. No. It's just a football game.

It doesn't mean anything. It's not an omen of anything. It's just a fucking football game, about which millions of people (like me) care nothing at all.

The ads will have much more impact than any stupid football game.

17. People need to really Google Blank and Kraft.

And Google how involved Belichick is in charitable efforts, with his own money. This insane Patriots hate is insane. Any white nationalist loving the Patriots for some unknown reason missed that the people who won the game for the team were a Black rookie reciever, two Black pass catching running backs, a Jewish reciever who made a spectacular catch, a White quarterback and an offensive line that has two Black linemen in it - all says diversity to me.

[Stinky The Clown]

18. What the hell are you on about?

[flamingdem]

19. I have always hated football but have to admit

that I watched due to the political edge - and I got so caught up in it.

What a great game!

[Blaukraut]

20. If the winning team had been the East Bum Fucks, who are friends with Trump, nobody would have cared

It's the Patriots. They've been in everyone's face for 15 years, and the hatred runs deep. So any excuse to jump on them - be it alleged cheating, or friendship (at best) with Trump, is a good excuse to have the vapors. Well, pull up the fainting couches, because the Pats ain't going anywhere anytime soon.
