Is this the year to boycott the SuperBowl?

[milestogo]

Its a corporate extravaganza.
The king is going to be there to steal the attention.
I feel like he's already ruined it.

[Wounded Bear]

1. Haven't watched it in years...

[mahatmakanejeeves]

2. What's that? NT

[Srkdqltr]

3. Ya sure, lol

[niyad]

4. What is the "super bowl"?

[Ocelot II]

8. I don't know, but here's a Superb Owl.

[niyad]

21. Magnificent!!! Thank you.

[brush]

67. Nice pnoto. Quite a majestic bird. Small night time prey beware.

Those talons look lethal.

[Ocelot II]

72. It's a Eurasian eagle-owl, the largest of all the owls, with a 6' wingspan.

They aren't native to the US but I wish they were.

[flamingdem]

5. Diaper Don will be wearing his Super Superbowl

diapers. He'll be gushing and all around him can enjoy the schtink.

[Think. Again.]

6. I mean, I like to go bowling once in a while...

...but watching other people do it is boring.

[Ocelot II]

7. Every year is the year to boycott the Superbowl,

but I'm not sure if I'm actually boycotting it if I never watch it anyhow.

[Funtatlaguy]

9. Over/Under on shots of Trump vs Taylor

Will be interesting to see how many times the director of the “show” gives us a glimpse of Heir Cheeto and/or Kelce’s girlfriend.

[Butterflylady]

47. Most people want to see Taylor........

like someone just said, every time Kelce does anything thing on the field they will show his honey. That will unhinged F47.

[travelingthrulife]

10. Wonder how much DOGE has allotted for this government expenditure?

How much does it cost us?

[Raftergirl]

11. I don't watch football. H will watch but not the pregame when HWSRN will be interviewed. None of then

teams he likes are in it, but he’ll be pulling for the Eagles. He is a bigger college football fan.

[walkingman]

12. I'm PISSTIFIED... pissed off & mystified at why Trump would insist on ruining everything for so many people.

I think it will be a good game - pulling for the Eagles.

[MustLoveBeagles]

16. He enjoys it

Watch the Puppy Bowl instead.

[Emile]

13. I really don't care for either team, and I despise looking at our Dipshit President.

If I were to watch it would be to see the commercials. Most of them are already being shown on TV.

[Attilatheblond]

99. I often recorded the game

so I could fast forward and watch only the commercials.

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. I watch the Puppy Bowl instead

A lot more fun. I love all the players.

[JoseBalow]

57. Me too! I haven't watched the Super Bowl in many years

I've watched the Puppy Bowl since the first one, and it keeps getting better and better!

(15:59)

[MustLoveBeagles]

71. Thanks for the clip

I needed that

[JoseBalow]

73. No problemo!

I could watch these cuties all day

(3:03)

[Meowmee]

91. Unfortunately the kitten bowl was cancelled but it's great too 😹😀

[jmbar2]

15. I wanna see the stands erupt in disapproval

Maybe Taylor Swift can lead the boos.

[CrispyQ]

17. What if he tries/asks to meet her?

I'd put nothing past him. Make her have to be polite to him in public. I hate him so much that I already hate him for shit he hasn't even done.

[milestogo]

18. Travis Kelce: Trump attending Super Bowl 'cool.' The president said 'I hate Taylor Swift.'

Travis Kelce is praising President Donald Trump's plans to attend Super Bowl 59.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end told a pool of reporters Wednesday that it is "pretty cool" that Trump is set to attend the two-time reigning champ's big game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

"That’s awesome. It’s a great honor," he told reporters, according to videos posted by multiple media outlets Wednesday. "I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I know I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life, you know, and having the president there, you know, it’s the best country in the world. So, that’d be pretty cool."

But Kelce is the boyfriend of pop star Taylor Swift, whom Trump slammed late last year, even writing "I hate Taylor Swift" on Truth Social in September.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2025/02/05/travis-kelce-donald-trump-taylor-swift/78250663007/

Her boyfriend is "honored" that Rump is coming.

[Aristus]

46. Time for Ms. Swift to dump his groveling, obsequious ass, and get a new boyfriend.

And, not incidentally, obtain material for a new break-up song.

[milestogo]

68. Agreed.

She can do better.

[Polybius]

94. I'm available

[littlemissmartypants]

59. Wow, did he ACTUALLY PRAISE TRUMP BY NAME?

[Lulu KC]

60. I think he had his fingers crossed behind his back

Or he'd had a few drinks. Or needed a drink. I just can't believe that TS would date anyone dumb.

[MustLoveBeagles]

70. That's disappointing

[Captain Zero]

80. Chump putting kiss of death on a 3peat

Good.

And I'm not watching it.

[PCIntern]

19. Yeah!! I'm from Philly and

THIS IS DEFINITELY THE YEAR TO BOYCOTT!!

[WinstonSmith4740]

48. As a (displaced) Philly native...

I have to admit my heart was gladdened when i read a column saying that Philadelphians hate Trump almost as much as New Yorkers.
(Didn't he try and screw over the Eagles a few years back?) I don't think he's going to get the reception he's looking for. Since broadcasters allowed the chant of "F*ck you Biden" to be heard, it'll be interesting to see if Fox mutes the boos.

Just kidding...of course they'll mute them...can't have Dear Leader upset.

On edit: Just went back and saw the original post about how much Philly natives hate Trump, and saw that you had posted it!! Thanks so much PC!

[Paladin]

20. What---and miss the halftime show? (nt)

[nolabear]

22. Nah. I'm making wings. But only the left ones.

[Sogo]

23. I feel like he's already ruined it, too.

I'm much less enthused about watching it, since there will be the inevitable shots of him in the crowd; and him inevitably standing to soak in the adoration (or what he thinks is adoration....I am looking forward to the booing....).

Everything Trump touches dies....

[JCMach1]

24. Keep fantasizing Kendrick changes lyrics of They Not Like Us

To a Trump dis track.

Please make it happen.

He's not like us. He's not like us

[usonian]

25. Boycotting cowardly NFL asslickers.

Renoving "End Racism" from football field.



For Caligula.

The most cowardly betrayal of players and fans ever.

Kap was right.

Rich white boy owners have no spine. Committment to end racism is a bad joke.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

26. Have not watched in years

But this would NOT be the year to start up imo.

[mwmisses4289]

27. The last time I watched it was with my mom,

7, 8 years ago, and only because we happened to drop by that day. Not a sports fan, although I have attended games occasionally throughout my life (last one was when we won tickets to opening day for our baseball team). Just not really interested.

Edited to add: I do catch some of the more memorable commercials on youtube.

[Bleacher Creature]

28. As a Bills fan, I'm all in on a boycott this year!

[MorbidButterflyTat]

83. Me, too!

So happy for Josh Allen finally getting the respect he's earned as MVP.

[Chalco]

29. Go and Booooooo him to death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing more to say

[SCantiGOP]

66. Well, you could have said

That the average ticket price this year was $3,300, so to get a ticket and go boo now is probably going to set you back $5-6 thousand.
💲😵?💫

[FarPoint]

30. Unfortunately....yes.... boycott on TV...

tRump and the billionaires are ruining a sport. Think of what low viewership could do to advertizers paying top dollar....yes, it will send a strong message.

[Ninga]

53. Totally! Can you imagine how utterly pissed advertisers would be to spend hundreds of

thousands of dollars to produce and pay the ginormous advert fees only to not have maximum eyes on their product? The NFL set the fees because millions watch.

[japple]

31. I've never watched one or been to a SB party in my whole life!

eom

[dchill]

32. If you want to call not watching it "boycotting," sure.

I regularly boycott NFL activities.🤔

[BattleRow]

33. It's a Stupor Bowl this year

Most folks are in a super stupor..myself included.

[Gore1FL]

34. I've got a 13-year head start on you. nt

[DENVERPOPS]

35. Makes me kind of wonder

What Corporate owned, or Oligarch owned private box will let him use it........

Probably the one that gets the most "Corporate Welfare" ???????????

Can't believe Kelce's? comments praising Trump coming and trying to steal the show. Trump will most certainly take credit for the huge crowd coming, just to see him..........

If I were the secret service, I would be going bananas..................What a fucking security nightmare.........

[spike jones]

36. I have never watched a super bowl. The last football game I saw was in 1965.

This is the real super bowl.

[Mr.WeRP]

37. I have a strong fear Trump is going to ruin it

He hates the NFL (he couldn’t own a team and failed starting his own league). He hates the Eagles since they dissed him at the Whitehouse, he hates Taylor Swift. He loves attention and playing the victim. And the SB is one of the most viewed events in the US. I can see him using this as an opportunity to shit on everyone, stage a false flag attempt on him and then use this as an excuse for Martial Law.

[beaglelover]

38. I love football and the Super Bowl. We go to a large Super Bowl party and it's always a great time.

So, no, I will not be boycotting the Super Bowl.

[Mosby]

86. Have a favorite?

I don't usually like phili teams, including the eagles but I'm a huge Barkley fan. I think he's the season mvp and is probably going to tear it up in the SB.

I like KC though, and the three peat storyline is compelling.

I'm probably going to root for the eagles.

[beaglelover]

92. I'm rooting for Philadelphia. In the AFC Championship game there were at least 2 very questionable calls by the refs

that basically allowed the Chiefs to win. Not saying it was rigged........

My final score prediction, 41 - 38, Chiefs win.

[Bird Lady]

39. I've been boycotting the Super Bowl

As long as there have been super bowls, or stupid bowls as I call them.

[Buns_of_Fire]

40. In honor of Donny, this year they're calling it the Super Bowel. nt

[BlueTsunami2018]

41. Not with the Birds playing in it.

I’m not letting that asshole ruin it for me.

Go Birds!

[PJMcK]

42. Yep

We haven’t made it a priority in years. We have other plans for this Sunday.

[LisaM]

43. No. I won't let him take that away from me.

And I will root for the Eagles like I was going to do and relish every time they show Taylor Swift.

I will also enjoy every second of "Lift Every Voice and Sing".

[Beringia]

44. Didn't you see the post yesterday by PCIntern that Trump will be barely acknowledged there

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219997477

John O’Malley on Facebook:

Donald Trump is going to the Super Bowl. Not because he cares about football, or even understands it beyond “big men smash into each other,” but because he simply cannot bear to be left out of something important. This is a man who would crash a child’s birthday party just to cut the cake himself and then complain that the kid didn’t thank him enough.

And this Super Bowl? Oh, it’s extra personal.

[ECL213]

45. I thought the NFL was a disgrace and poorly run.

Maybe he'll choke on a hot dog.

[Jerry2144]

49. Yes. The corruption in the refs and NFL is rampant

The two teams in the game would not be there if the refs made honest calls and didn't throw it to the Cheats

[Reader Rabbit]

50. Definitely. For my very first DnD campaign!

Got to run out and get some super-cool dice before Sunday!

[jalan48]

51. Yes

[Nigrum Cattus]

52. Most of the time the commercials are better than the game

It's rarely a good game and yes if tsf is there it's guaranteed to be

[greatauntoftriplets]

54. I'm going to watch the Puppy Bowl.

[sanduca]

55. I'm already boycotting it!

I don't like neither team🤮
I only like Kelcee because of Tay.
I love football and I have many teams I could be rooting for but none of those two. Then, you gonna have the dictator seeking attention.
No thanks!

[LuvLoogie]

56. I would watch Dua Lipa if she was the halftime performer

I've been over pro sports for a while, though.

[Blasphemer]

58. I am. Started watching again a few years ago. I'm out. nt

[CloudWatcher]

61. CTE ruined football for me years ago

I don't know how people can continue to watch after the CTE news. And high school football is basically child abuse. Nuts to the whole sport.

[SCantiGOP]

62. If DU boycotted the Super Bowl

I’m sure it would collapse in a matter of hours. 🙄
Write a letter to your legislators instead of pushing irrelevant musings like this.

[joanbarnes]

63. I already do this..

Could not care less about corporate sports ownership. I even boycott the game day crap they expect us to eat!

[Oopsie Daisy]

64. For me, that's like boycotting Tiffany's... or boycotting Walmart (one extreme to the other)

For someone who never watches the Super Bowl, how can they not-watch it with greater gusto than before?

I guess I could scowl more when changing the channel, or when streaming something else.

[Voltaire2]

65. Yes of course.

This is the moment to withhold as much consumption derived from the oligarch economy as you can. They need us to consume their shit.

[regnaD kciN]

69. I rarely watch...

…unless my favorite team is playing.

But this time is much more worth boycotting, what with Trump in attendance and the NFL coincidentally deciding to remove the “End Racism” signs.

[highplainsdem]

74. I'm a Chiefs fan, and I'll be watching.

[elocs]

75. I haven't watched a Super Bowl in probably 25 years now and I am a nominal football fan. n/t

[Bluethroughu]

76. Boycott the Superbowl, and put on PBS!

[Captain Zero]

82. Great idea !!

PBS.

EVERYONE SET Your TV ON LOCAL PBS CHANNEL ALL DAY SUNDAY !!

[AkFemDem]

77. I was planning to boycott before it was cool

Shitty refs will give it to shitty KC anyway, shitty halftime show featuring shitty music has zero appeal, now that shitty he who shall not be named is attending, theres even more reason to spend my Sunday washing my hair instead.

[Glorfindel]

78. I have never watched a SuperBowl.

Certainly won't start this year.

[Drum]

79. I'm looking forward to seeing the game...the people in the uniforms and the ball traveling between the end zones.

Folks can crow about principled boycotts, sure go ahead. The game’s the point. And the fun long-form commercials!

[Captain Zero]

81. What channel should we all put on?

It is carried by Fox and Tubi.

So we all need to set our channels elsewhere .
No Fox, No Tubi.

If someone knows how to set up a poll here maybe we should vote on alternatives and the winner is where we go?

[MorbidButterflyTat]

84. I'd watch to see the Eagles win

Don't give a shit about that grotesque blob of putrid slime.

[Different Drummer]

85. I had already planned to boycott the game before finding out Donzilla plans to be there.

Let's just say I don't foresee the Chiefs ever losing the Super Bowl as long as Travis Kelce is playing for them. You can read into that whatever you will. Also, being Jayden Daniels' Stan, I was a bit disappointed the Commanders didn't win the NFC Championship. So, bottom line, I don't care about either team and I certainly don't wish to see Donny Cheap Eggs. I hate to miss the commercials, but I figure I can see/find out about them after the game.

[milestogo]

87. I don't think I could miss it if Jayden Daniels were playing.

What an exciting year for him.

[Different Drummer]

90. If the Commanders were playing, I'd definitely watch, regardless of Donzilla.*

[JustAnotherGen]

88. For removing end racism?

Yes.

[Polybius]

95. It only went up in 2020

It was never there before, and was never meant to stay forever. It was put up to protest George Floyd's murder.

[JustAnotherGen]

96. So what?

Seriously. Why should that matter to me. Are you saying that the BLM stuff was all just performative?

[Polybius]

98. It simply means that it was never meant to be permanent

That's the problem with putting stuff up. People get pissed when the time comes to remove it. It doesn't mean that the message is any less significant.

Had it been taken down after 2020 no one would have noticed.

[Meowmee]

89. If it helps maybe

I think that might be too hard for a lot of people though…it wouldn’t be a boycott for me because I never watched it anyway 😹

[Polybius]

93. Yeah

But only because the Eagles and Chiefs made it again.

[xmas74]

97. No way I'm missing Kendrick Lamar

Finally finish his assassination of Drake on an international stage. KL sweeps the Grammys and the American Heart Association state that "Not Like Us" is perfect for performing CPR?

Someone needs to remember to use that song when trying to resuscitate Aubrey because this should kill him.

[Iggo]

100. Pick a year.

[usonian]

101. Goodell is a piece of trump-obeying shit.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=20004350

Two face.

No, no, the emperor must not see this!



Kap was right.

Committed to end racism AS LONG AS THE COMMITTMENT IS INVISIBLE.
