    If ICE shows up at the Superbowl, I’d wish and hope that the players just refuse to even step out onto that field for even a second while the fascists are around.

      The players largely don’t care. They got theirs and they’re paid to dance for the masses. The circus must go on.

    Nah, let’s be honest. Immensely wealthy private companies foresee a potentially negative impact to profits if an event on the scale of the fucking Super Bowl is used as a dog and pony show/display of power by the current regime. Wealth is power, and when power talks, even authority listens.

      It’s darkly hilarious, because an Italian minister of something or other was like “it’s not like the SS are coming”

      Bruh it is like the SS are coming. It’s ICEatzgruppen.

      For anyone who doesn’t understand this, look up Ten Cent Beer Night. Preferably the great recap of events by the Dollop podcast.
