The Super Bowl

I am not a big football fan. My husband is, and so is my youngest daughter. I respect their interests.

Why does that orange menace have to show up for the game? It is not his day. It is time for two teams who have proven their worthiness to compete. Why does that fool have to be the center of attention? I hope he gets booed out of the place. I hope there is so much opposition to his presence that the mainstream media cannot ignore it.

In decades. I have absolutely no interest in seeing his face or hearing anyone laud him.

Fool? YES. Correct description/definition used here.
Center of attention? Extreme narcissists love this shit. It's like fuel to them. I learned years ago, just to ignore his constant draw to attention.

And you're right. He does not belong there. But since he will be the first to do so, I would imagine a lot of his 77 million idiots will show up. Even if just a few hundred root for him, he will be happy and then of course brag that the entire stadium went nuts for him. It's quite sickening to witness this shit.

Personally, I'll temporarily switch channels, and/or mute his ass when they show him.

But I hear there will be a group singing the black national anthem. So, he isn't going to usurp all of it.

6 December 1969. Number one Texas at Number two Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas. Nixon at the game sitting in the stands during a drizzling rain. Hardly a blip on anyone’s radar. Invited to the game by the local US Congressman.
