I thought this was a dumb move when announced just like them deporting non-criminal people. They would scare A LOT of people away from working there leading to short staffing and frustrated patrons. Others would possibly not purchase tickets based on similar fears for friends and family. Legality aside, ICE has been racially profiling anyone who isn't white or speaks with an accent. Citizenship means dick when the targets are based on racism.

They probably gonna be there still.
A bunch of drunk, high people....and ICE being present, I cannot imagine what could go wrong there, lol.
This bitch should be on OF. I am certain trump must have raped her too and gave her this role ro keep her stupid mouth shut.
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.
👏
"We have decided, after much deliberation, not to be relentlessly booed, harassed, and torn apart in a humiliating display of ineptitude and poor judgment"
Fascist will always back down from a fight that they might lose. The only power they have is the illusion that they have the numbers. They do not.
This is a minor loss for them but it's a good example of how to defeat them. They need to be put in a place where they cannot retreat. A true loss for fascist is not backing down from a fight. They will just use that as opportunity to show how "reasonable" they are. It's the same as their fake "reduction" in Minnesota. It's just serving to try to reduce the resistance.
Never back down and think that things will "go back" to normal. This is the failure of the liberal inside of you. Liberal democracy is dead in America. We are not going back. Keep fighting, keep shaming, until these Nazis are in a corner and outnumbered.
You know what? Neoliberal democracy is dead, but there's still a chance for liberal democratic values to rise again. I've been seeing some real anger from the libs since Petti. Real fucking hardcore anger from people who, before, I'd dismissed as asleep, willing to hide instead of fight.
It's like seeing an accountant dad lose his shit and pick up a big old tree branch, shouting in rage, when some asshole punches his kid. I hope it's not theater, and I hope it does not get catharsis from meaningless wins like Bovino.
The Democrat leadership is lost, but with enough anger, real liberal believers could just go in and hollow it out and wear the old party like a skin suit.
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.
Not visible enough.
Walk out onto the field and do nothing. Or perhaps kneel, that seems to upset fascists for some reason.
Walk out onto the field, sit down and have a picnic/tea party. Like literally act as if you're just going to the park or some shit.
I know it won't happen, but it's a nice visual.
That's sounds quite pleasant.
It'd also make a nice change for the players; instead of, say, concussions.
Take a knee every play. Both sides. Intentionally ground the ball. Punt first down. Just an endless game of whistle stops and turnovers.
If you want your name on the right side of history and written down in every history book, this is the way to do it. Ice doesn't need to even be there. Show solidarity with Minnesota and the civilian heroes that have died there.
Well said
The players largely don't care. They got theirs and they're paid to dance for the masses. The circus must go on.
They're not welcome at Superbowl if I have any say about it!
Anyone else get the feeling their presence at these sport events are being used as an employee perk? It would make it all the more delightful this stuff is getting shutdown.
Don't believe a word they say. Not sure if any local activists are here but stay ready, they may show up anyway.
"Don't believe a word they say" goes both ways with all the TACOing we've seen
Oh yeah I'd be equally unsurprised if they never planned to come at all. But still we have to be ready.
I know in my city there are a lot of conversations and planning around what we will do if we become the next Minneapolis because they are so chaotic and unpredictable that there's no way to know.
Us too. Honestly, I think anyone who cares should be getting to know their neighbors right now
No, please come so we can kick some ass.
Now do the Olympics, in Italy too
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.
I try not to watch the main actors in the Trump facade because their posturing is so cringe worthy, but I saw Noem tell an interviewer (or influencer?) that ICE will be at the Superbowl, but she among her reasoning was because "I can" which she said along with a huge shrug of her shoulders. The fucking EGO of these people they don't actually care about any of this, it's about the money and appearance of power.
Point is, I didn't think there was ever a plan to back away from. When she said this, she only said it because her brain got a dopamine hit thinking to herself about how cool she must look in the video.
However, Superbowl is still over a week away, and these sensitive souls could kneejerk react to their feels and change their mind any time.
Cowards gonna cower.
Trump isn't the only one in this administration who always chickens out‽
Remember, Trump already backed out on the Bay Area / Silicon Valley in late October.
Ew, why is grandma wearing a vest with the word ‘police’ on it? She’s not a police officer.
With all the alcohol fueled self entitlement in the seats they would get destroyed.
For anyone who doesn't understand this, look up Ten Cent Beer Night. Preferably the great recap of events by the Dollop podcast.
It's this ICEy TACOS? Never had that before, sounds bland, tasteless. Around here we always drink our Horchata warm.
