Super Bowl goes political - liberals crushed over Pats' comeback victory

I looked him up and, OK, he's not anonymous!

Shaun King is a liberal writer (Young Turks, KosDaily) and promoter of Black Lives Matter.

Why is Shaun King whining on Twitter newsworthy?

Who are:
Chance Bishop
Douglas Young
Tom Battles
Ned Fulmer
??

These are anonymous whining liberals that Breitbart quoted in Calumnian's Fake News story. Why do we care what they say?

 

And again we come back to: who gets to vet things as newsworthy. I am not in the business of convincing you to care. But I can quickly google up multiple sources who are carrying this story. So obviously, some people care. Sure, it's not the headline across the nation, but people are reading and discussing this little story.

 

Must be a slow news day. <shrugs>

 

BTW, this will drive the liberals nuts, but Brady just took a shot at Roger Goodell in this new ad.

 

Yes I'm sure all of the liberals were upset that those Patriots nestled in the conservative bastion that is New England won the super bowl. :Laugh

 

They haven't yet converted to the Church of Donald Trump of Latter-Day Scams.

 

Well, at least Lady Gaggag didn't go there.

Boston is no stranger to being a Super Bowl winner hometown, this was a case where politics trumped football. There were people that were former Pats fans that did not want them to win:

even the hometown paper was calling it "a bitter end" for the Patriots:

both the owner, Bellicheat and Brady are big friends of the Donald, so it's like "not my president" morphing into "not my Super Bowl team".

 

I suppose cherry picking random tweets might make it seem that way but sports fans ultimately transcend politics. It's a pretty small sample size but it makes for clicky material I guess.

By the way I doubt Bill and Brady are "big" friends of the Donald as they have very much tried to distance themselves when asked about it. They don't seem proud enough to even claim their friendship so not much there either.

The Boston Globe is a sports rag by the way so. It surprised they took the bait.

 

The funny things is I saw a lot of my Trump Supporter friends on Facebook posting the [HASHTAG]#notmysuperbowlchampions[/HASHTAG] after the Patriots won. I thought it was a funny poke at liberals, but apparently some people don't get sarcasm.

I saw plenty of these as well.

 

That's not what they say. :Geek

Of course it's possible they are still mourning Obama's 10,000 who supposedly died in a tornado...

"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed." – Obama talking about a Kansas tornado where 11 people died.
