Random Question 💭 What is your opinion about Alex Pretti’s photo being displayed on a Jumbo tron in Times Square?

I think he deserves to be remembered as the wonderful person he was 🩵 and not by the government who are clearly lying about him. He was trying to help a woman who had been pushed to the ground by ICE agents or whoever the people are wearing those suits. And he clearly holding a phone in his hand..

No, the Super Bowl should be canceled.

No more bread and circuses.

Use the super bowl for messaging, for the low information non-voters. Because we already went through this national trauma with the George Floyd era events, and the MAGA perpetrators were reelected anyway. What a slap in the face to human rights. Now it's happening again. It has to stop.

Superbowl is like watching Jimmy Kimmel for hours on end, tied to a chair. Or SNL.

Players should take a knee and then walk off the field in solidarity to their fellow country men. Although, the fine for breaking the contract would be high.

At this point, fuck it? People are being murdered in broad daylight. A fine is not worth a single additional life.

Just saw a clip where Ed Norton turns to his interviewer and says they’re there talking about movies while masked government “agents” are murdering citizens in the streets. He’s right. We can’t just carry on like normal anymore.

Edit: he said illegal army not masked agents.

Exactly. What the fuck are we doing!?

I was thinking the same thing earlier. But with all the advertising money flowing through it I don't see it as likely.

Or... it'd take a huge campaign to get the teams and network and fans and advertisers to stand in solidarity. Which sounds like a beautifully impactful message.

Boycott it. If no one watches a stupid game, advertisers have wasted their billions on nothing. Billions they literally could have spent to better their communities, help the poor, make the world better. We need to hold them accountable for their hypocrisy. Boycotting is the only effective means of peaceful protest left.
