(3,398 posts)As a lifetime 49ers fan, I cant stand the Rams, plus they only got to the Super Bowl because of completely incompetent officiating, and I would hate to see that rewarded. But Im also sick to death of the Patriots getting here constantly, and their owners a Trump zombie. There is no result of this game that would make me happy. Im not sure its even worth watching.

Coaches on both sides need NOT make stupid calls...and the refs need to do their job - NOT throw a game....
AFA Kraft and the POS in the WH...as a life long PATS fan - I really don't give a chit....I will NOT let my sports be tainted by politics...
They don't call us Titletown for nuthin''' wicked great teams over many, many, years.....We invite ALL to Boston Garden (screw TD Garden name) - Celts and Bruins games are always fun - or Fenway Park - oh, World Series Champs 2018 - Gillette Stadium, formerly Foxboro Stadium, formally Sullivan Stadium - nuff said...

My recovery began when a former girlfriend described it as a game of "I have the meat... I'm taking it home... and you can't have it."
Suddenly, I was offered a new perspective.

"For Kraft especially, the relationship seems puzzling on the surface to many since Kraft is a life-long Democrat and donated to President Barack Obama's campaigns."

"Robert Kraft 'didn't hesitate a minute' when lending plane to Parkland students
When retired astronaut Mark Kelly called
Kraft to ask for a plane to take wounded kids and their familes to the March For Our Lives, he didn't hesitate to help."
"Kraft finds himself in a unique position because although hes a lifelong Democrat, he also counts President Trump among his personal friends. He didn't mince words, however, as he expressed his displeasure with the ongoing disputes over gun control and the accompanying political gridlock in addressing the matter.
I have a big problem with whats going on in Washington and the divisiveness, and no ones listening to one another"

(1,117 posts)I dont know what Krafts game is with Obama, but there are two kinds of people in America today: those who side with the billionaires and oligarchs that run rightwing media and bought the GOP, and everyone else.
Kraft is a billionaire oligarch that means he sides with Republicans. Im willing to welcome him back, but he must strongly disavow Trump and Murdoch not just complain about bothsides division.

(15,265 posts)While I can not stomach Krafts association with tRump he is the sum of his parts which include the many charitable acts that he and his families foundations have contributed to.
Including flying the Parkland Florida students and families to the the March For Your Lives Rally on the Patriots Jet at the cost of around a $ 1 million dollars.

(1,117 posts)Im glad Kraft is helping put out the fires, but hes backing the arsonists.
Kraft helped elect Trump and he backs Fox.
Just those two things had a bigger effect on getting schoolchildren killed (Yes, Murdoch helps gets kids killed) than any of the great stuff he did to counterbalance it at Parkland.
This is a national emergency on the scale of 1930s Germany. Kraft is backing the wanna be autocrat. Thats a threat to America. Im sorry to be so blunt but it is necessary.

Make a case for the Rams owner.

(1,117 posts)Even if they are friendly people and the autocrats can make them money.
Im glad you or your people have a good personal relationship with Kraft.
But Kraft is a cancer on America, like every other billionaire who supports Trump and Murdoch. As much as he has done for the Pats.
On a related note: Deflategate is an allegory for how the GOP screws America.
A bunch of billionaires (NFL owners) led by an corrupt apparatchik (Goodell), paid by the billionaires, used their state media (ESPN) to amplify an exaggerated story and smear their union employee (Brady). Then the billionaires used their money to commission a BS report (from Exponent, Paul Weiss) and with Republican lawyers and judges got a decision that helped the billionaires and hurt the employee. And the masses all believe the billionaires lies.
Replace with:
Koch network
McConnell
Fox
Average workers
Citizens United, Judicial Watch, AEI
Republican lawyers and judges
And its basically the same story.

(1,117 posts)I was/am a huge Pats fan, and I am having trouble with the Kraft/Trump/Murdoch alliance.
I prefer to think about Brady coming around due to Giselle and his time with Moss. Better days. I wish the NFL was not run by a bunch of billionaire oligarchs.
At least Randy Moss made some dollars from Kraft.

(33,034 posts)5 As I was thinking about this, suddenly a GOAT with a prominent horn between its eyes came from the west, crossing the whole earth without touching the ground. 6 It came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and charged at it in great rage. 7 I saw it attack the ram furiously, striking the ram and shattering its two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against it; the GOAT knocked it to the ground and trampled on it, and none could rescue the ram from its power. 8 The GOAT became very great, but at the height of its power the large horn was broken off, and in its place four prominent horns grew up toward the four winds of heaven.
