Are Super Bowl rings made by the same company that invented brass knuckles? Seriously, are those not the gawdiest, hideous, most uncomfortable looking things you ever saw? |

I am curious if anybody from this thread has read this and is going to participate in boycotting the superbowl? The reason I ask is because I see many of the people posting in here are supposedly all about womens rights. Some of you are the first in line when there is a damsel in distress so what is keeping my fellow community members from acknowledging this female travesty?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to respond!!! Quote:

I think it is going to be a very close game. My guess...Steelers by 5 points. |

For some reason, 2011 is the year to expose Sex Trafficking in the United States and most importantly, how the Super Bowl in Texas plays a huge role in adding to this atrocity. Unlike Snow and Grant - I could give a fuck about football. I think the game is repulsive, so in reality I am not missing out on anything by not watching it. I do not go to Super Bowl parties. Not missing out on a thing. What is shocking to me about all of this... That we as a community are not discussing this. That we as a community, knowing what is going on -- all we can say is... GO PACKERS GO! I sat my youngest son down with his friends -- Age group 19 -20 - The age where the testosterone is flowing strong. I had them watch the videos out there on Human Sex Trafficking during the Super Bowl. What I watched was an emotional response to what they saw. OUTrage and sadness at the news that little girls and boys, as young as 9 & 10 will be sold to spectators of Super Bowl Sunday. Literally thousands of our babies. I asked Bennie (age 20) last night... Are you going to a Super Bowl party tomorrow? "No Ma!" How come Bennie? "We are boycotting it, Ma!" Are you upset you are not watching it? "No Ma, this is pretty fucked up what's goin' on!" I am not sure what the other boys are going to be doing... But I can tell you this. They will have the images of young children being bought, sold and raped during the games. My older son (intellect) doesn't believe boycotting will do any good - Believes we need to speak out about it. But not watching is not going to do anybody any good. Personally - I don't get how you can watch knowing what's going on. I guess I really want to know what our community thinks about this! What you might be thinking when you are watching the game later today with your buddies! Will you be thinking about the thousands of children? Or will you be thinking - Go Packers Go? Julie |
Here's what I will never comprehend.. People were ready to draw and quarter Michael Vick over DOGS, that thread lasted for days it was exactly 14 pages of some ugly shit regarding this man and his abuse towards DOGS.. Here we can't even get a "thanks for letting the community know". Tonight for each big play I'll post a candle for whatever child is being raped and tortured in celebration. Happy Super Bowl Rape Fest.

I am not American and so watching the Super Bowl is no big deal for me.
However if I was to learn that during a big sporting event in Australia this was occuring I would be sure to vent my anger and boycott the said event. Now I also understand that boycotting is not necesarily going to change what is but at least I would know in my mind and heart that I have done what is right for me. Hopefully if enough did as I did then the sponsors would get the message and maybe just maybe they would do a community awarement phase during there commercials so as that the entire country would know what was happening, I think then those that are (selling children) would have difficulties and the demand would drop. |
Please note
As the OP in this thread, I would like to remind people the intent was to talk about a football game. The current derail is very worthy of discussion and in need of a thread of its own. I look forward to someone starting it. Enjoy your day.....however you choose to celebrate/boycott it. :) |

It is not the NFL's fault this is happening! No it is NOT! But... Have they spoken out against it? Will there be one advertising campaign today about it? Are they helping with their billions of dollars to stop this? NO they are not. Facts: "In 2010, the average cost of a 30-second commercial was (according to CBS, the network that televised Super Bowl XLIV that year) approximately US $3.01 million. This excludes costs and fees for actors, equipment, ad agencies, directors, crew and other personnel." 30 seconds of commercial time! 3.01 million dollars. Of course the networks are profiting, but so is the NFL. How many commercials will be played? For me, if they (NFL) and the TV affiliated had spoken out - I would be feeling a wee bit better about the game. At least they are speaking out. But then again - How can I be disgusted with them, when our own community does or says nothing. Except - GO PACKERS GO! The only NFL player (I can find) who has spoken out against this - Is Jay Ratliff of Dallas Cowboys. It's on vimeo - So, I cannot embed. Here is the link: http://vimeo.com/18445593 |

Next Sunday Feb 6th 6:30 est on Fox. So, who will you be rooting for? Packers? Steelers? Don't care as long as there is a party? Think football ranks rights up there with a colonoscopy on the fun scale? Kobi, You asked "Don't care as long as there is a party?" I care! I am stating why I care! I believe I am within the context of your OP. I will not be rooting for either team and I stated why. I think football ranks right up there with a colonoscopy and I stated why. And actually - I am SHOCKED you would even suggest we start a different thread - that this is a derail when BABIES Kobi are being sold. To call this a derail? LOL Are you kidding me? This is about FOOTBALL |
Quote:
No Kobi you asked the community HOW we were spending it, rooting for etc.. The only other is a colonascopy, and I would prefer that instead if CHILDREN being raped during an event that I did love to watch. I've nothing else to say, it's all there, facts, I'll start the candles for the victims of this event. Enjoy your Super Rape Fest. |
Quote:
Your view of football as right up there with a colonoscopy is duly noted. The political/humanitarian agenda designed to expose how people exploit others using sporting events is a powerful topic not best served in a thread in a hobbies, crafts, interests....fun thread. Thank you for taking this discussion to a more appropriate arena. |

Folks -
I'm receiving reported posts from this thread. I appreciate Snow starting another thread for the discussion on the humanitarian aspect of the Superbowl and hope that folks will delve deeper into the topic. All oppressions are linked and it is responsible to educate ourselves. Also, if you are having issues with a post you have the choice to report it and let us deal with it (rather than acting as moderator, which is against our TOS) or you can engage *respectfully*. Thanks, M |
Psychic Nun picks Packers
Out in the cold.
Those interested in the gamesmanship of football and with cable hopefully have on NFL Network. Teams arrive in 3 hours. They showed them shoveling snow in courtyard around the Lombardi statue. Brrrrr. Bitter cold. But the Packer's and the Steelers play in that freezing weather. Well the Psychic Nun has picked the Packers :sunglass: The Super Bowl psychic nun, who has been picking the Super Bowl winners since 1987 believes the Packers will win with 24-21. Sister Jean Kenny’s track record is 18 right to 7 wrong.Story here* Super Bowl 2011 - Green Bay Packers predicted to win from many sources - Hartford Pop Culture |
I actually don't care who wins.......laughin.........I just want to see a good game, not a blow out.....
The Black Eyed Peas will be the halftime show....we should vote on which 3 songs they will do........ oh yeah........steak on the grill, spuds, salad........it's 75 and feels like spring in Oakland...... |
Quote:
We have devilled eggs, mini hot dogs, meatballs, home made vegetarian pizza, veggies and dip, and CAKE!!!! My cousins wife who is vegan, is making some other goodies to bring also! I lean to the Packers, but m fine with whoever wins. It isnt near as warm, and its raining, but we are excited none the less, its all about friends coming and the food for me!!! |
Go Steelers Go
|
Peach darlin............laughin...........

|
LMAO...is it just me and the people i have over who think the Black Eyed Peas sound horrid live....we are over here rolling. The green people are kind of cool though
|
|
Sorry Sister......But I still can't wait to see you!!
|
Just when I was getting bored with the game...the Steelers came through, it's about time!
|
The Black Eyed Peas sounded horrable! OMG! Christina Agullara sounded great. What happened? |
I hope in the future whoever picked the halftime entertainment does a little better picking. Obviously their picker was broken this year or all other acts were busy. :cigar2:

Quote:
LOL I am just glad my friends and I are not the only ones who thought so...not sure what the heck happened but it was horrific. I think part of the reason is they are performers not really that talented vocally without major editing...at least that is what became evident to me in watching it. BTW Christina actually forgot a few lines lol...it did still sound great though |
Im so glad the Packers won...
|
Well that certainly sucked! I am just glad it wasn't any of my choice teams this year...

Jersey #12: 13 Super Bowl Victories
#12 has been a remarkable number for NFL starting quarterbacks. From 1972 to 1980, every Super Bowl was won by a quarterback wearing #12. The Super Bowl champion list of quarterbacks wearing #12 includes Joe Namath (69), Roger Staubach ('72, '78), Bob Griese ('73, '74), Terry Bradshaw ('75, '76, '79, '80), Ken Stabler ('77), and Tom Brady(notes) ('02, '04, '05). #12 dominated the 70s and was dominant in the 00s. With Tom Brady finishing his career and Aaron Rodgers(notes) blossoming into a top-tier quarterback, #12 could find itself a third year of greatness. and so it is 14 super bowl victories for the jersey #12 |
Congratulations Packers and Packer fans!!
I actually won a few bucks rooting for the underdog. Next year though, it'll be the Titans kicking ass :-) |
That was a good game. Congrats to all the cheesehead fans! I am glad the Packers won cuz my bud in Wisconsin owes me a super bowl hat now :) I think they need to do away with half time entertainment. That performance was supposed to be music? I'm older. I dont like noise. That was noise with dancing lol. Any did anyone find a decent commercial in that bunch? The etrade kid is always cute but even that one wasnt so hot. |
I cracked up at all of the Doritos commercials... & it's really difficult to make me laugh.
|
I am so proud to be a packer fan and living in milwaukee. We drove down water street (the party street downtown) and everyone was honking their horns and screamin! My voice is shot from screaming at the bar. The steelers put up one hell of a fight and i respect the hell out of them for that. I bleed green and gold and im so happy we brought the lombardi trophy home. Go pack!!!!!
|
Sorry the Steelers lost. But totally enjoyed "Usher"............
|
Boooooooooooooo the Steelers lost :p
|
You steelers fans had me nervous for a bit, but in the end we pulled through and are the champions :) Apparently there are not riots happening on water and brady street. Everyone is drunk and getting into fights and my friend is now stranded at the bar we were at because all the cops have everything blocked off. I'm proud to be a packer fan and a wisconsinite, but now we're just acting like idiots.
