You know it's one to spout here on DU that you are going to boycott the Superbowl...

That's fine in and of itself, but it would be great if we all sent a letter to the NFL telling them that they should be consistent about airing political messages. Tell them that you wont watch becuase of this blatant choosing of poltical sides when America is in dire need of a non-partisan event to bring us together.

If the Move On.Org commercial was far too controversial, ironic that it turned out to be true, to air on the most holy of holiest, Super bowl Sunday, then why should they let an anti-abortion commercial specifically designed to get people to take a political stand that is controversial at best and mixing religion with secular life at worst.

Anyway, I have no desire to watch another football game that I have no player in. And since the NFL was complacent in getting the financially strapped Cleveland to pony up almost a billion dollars so an inept football franchise run by the Lerner Family,yea that Lerne, the master card thugs that they are, into the ground.

Well, my opinion of the NFL has been sullied many times over the years and I have no reason to futher compromise my political beliefs just to watch a football game, no matter how much New Orleans has riding on it.

4. Tis where the colts of Baltimore via Indianapolis meet the champions of

New Orleans who are considered Saints...

The victor gets to pillage their own downtown district and brag that they art the king of the world...

Sadly, I am previously engaged and shan't be able to view this spectacle.

5. Exactly, I will watch my 44th consecutive Super Bowl and I will enjoy it, but ...

I have already contacted the NFL and CBS to express my displeasure at the unfairness of allowing one point of view while denying another. (I actually caught the '71 Super Bowl on tape a couple of months after the fact , but I was otherwise occupied on Super Sunday. I'm still claiming an unbroken viewing streak.)
