Is the Super Bowl a proper venue to honor what would have been Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday?

[mmonk]

How do you feel about it?

[Angry Dragon]

1. No good reason to combine the two

[sharesunited]

2. Sure, why not? Or a rodeo.

[Unrepentant Fenian]

3. That idiot's birthday means NOTHING to me.

So no, leave it out of the Super Bowl.

[asjr]

4. The Super Bowl is for football. Enough said.

[mmonk]

11. I go to watch football and try to forget my cares but

since the wars, they have become such a nationalistic extravaganza, it's hard to do.

[DJ13]

5. With the Bozo the Clown show off the air, why not?

[Raine]

6. I have no use for or interest in either one. nt

:puke:

[annabanana]

7. In that it's an overblown spectacle that never rises to it's hype?

Perfect syncronicity to my way of thinking.

8. Seems to me that a lot of Democrats & others who don't give two hoots in hell about Ronnie watch the

9. I don't much care about the Super Bowl

or Reagan so it doesn't matter to me.

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. I couldn't care less about either. n/t

12. I'm thinking more Demolition Derby -nt

13. They crammed Nancy's deathgasm down our throats for a week

What was it, two or three memorial services, culminating in the sunset service on the west coast so Nancy could dramatically throw herself over Ronnie's coffin? We will be spared nothing, even a centennial for Bonzo's co-star, and endless poutrage over when Reagan's Alzheimer's began to manifest. All the good little acolytes of St. Ronnie will get a chance to defend their hero while we, our children, and their children get to continue paying off the debt he and his financial wizards ran up.

14. Seems like a perfect storm of meaningless hype for the sake of hype..n/t

15. Someone has to "win one for the gipper"!

[mmonk]

16. And you can bet we'll get that phraseology.

[tinymontgomery]

17. Don't watch football but hell no

it's a football game not a tribute to the president that started the down for of our country plus suck at acting.

[JVS]

18. Fuck Ronald Reagan and no it isn't.

[niyad]

19. I have absolutely no use for football, but, in deference to my friends who do, HELL NO

[divine_truine]

20. He's not 100 years old...HE'S DEAD!

reagan: one of the worst presidents in u.s. history! big 'gubment,' massive spending, cockamamie ideas such as 'star wars' weapons systems (what a waste of the nation's treasure that would've been!), the list goes on and on. Both bushs plus clinton, THE WORST! no one (especially a disingenuous repuke) can ever claim to be fiscally conservative! unless they're pissing away the nation's treasure to start ILLEGAL WARS! I wish the rest of the media would stop allowing g.o.p. gasbags to parrot they are more conservative than the average american. It simply cannot pass the smell test...not now, not ever!

[LTR]

21. Depends. What did they do for LBJ's 100th?

Oh yeah, that's right! Hey, LBJ only got the ball rolling on civil rights and Medicare, that's all. Reagan was a spokesmodel built into a deity.

[Radical Activist]

22. Wasn't it enough to turn the world series into a display of fascist militarism?

I'm getting really sick of this. It's obviously a coordinated effort across multiple sports and I'd like to know who is pushing these decisions.

[mmonk]

23. Me too.

I'm tired of going to go see a game of some sort and ending up being at a Nuremberg rally.

[Kievan Rus]

24. Reagan was the worst President ever -- and IMHO, one of the worst Americans ever

[cherokeeprogressive]

25. I'm a football fan. I'm a fan of the NFL. I hardly hear a word other than the play-by-play during

the Superbowl.

I'd have to say I'm indifferent.

[MrMickeysMom]

26. Let's see... That was One Half Time for the Gipper?

Boy, I'm dreaming up what I can watch else-while already!
