LEFT WING LOONS Title: The Patriots ... didn’t just beat the Falcons --- they crushed the liberal media The Patriots didnt just beat the Falcons. They crushed the liberal media By: Chris Pandolfo February 06, 2017 History was made Sunday night when the New England Patriots came back from a 213 halftime deficit in Super Bowl 51 to pull an historic and stunning overtime victory, defeating the Atlanta Falcons 34 to 28. Patriots fans are understandably exuberant. Atlanta fans are beyond dejected. And the liberal media is eating crow. You see, prior to the game, the liberal media had determined that quarterback Tom Bradys friendship with Donald Trump made it unacceptable to root for the Patriots, unless of course you are a bigoted, racist, homophobic deplorable. On Feb. 1, The New York Times ran an expose on The uncomfortable love affair between Donald Trump and the New England Patriots. The piece attempted to shame the Patriots by pointing out the team's ties to the president and noted that no small number of fans are convinced that the Patriots (like Trump) achieve their victories through dubious means and wish they would just go away and get off their TVs forever. The New York Daily News praised Bill Maher for an epic rant in which the progressive comedian and host of Real Time with Bill Maher went on a profanity-laced tirade declaring his opposition to a Patriots victory. "The Falcons are playing a team where the owner, the coach and the star quarterback all love Donald Trump," said Maher. "So I'd really like for them to lose by a score of a million f--king thousand to none." The Los Angeles Times ran an op-ed by sports documentary producer Kelly Candaele declaring his support for the Falcons on the basis of the loathsome politics of Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and Robert Kraft. SB Nation brought up the controversy between President Trump and Congressman John Lewis, D-Ga. (F, 22%) who represents part of Atlanta declaring the Super Bowl was Donald Trump vs. the city of Atlanta. Slate even ran an explainer titled How to pull for the Patriots in the Age of Trump. But look closely at the URL on that piece and youll see an alternative headline poses a moral quandary to Slates audience: Is it morally acceptable to root for the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl? One of the big moral questions Slate tackles is: Is it cool to like a football team because its owner and some of its players like a politician I disagree with? Truly the philosophical question for the times we live in. A less philosophical individual called for a boycott of the Patriots way back in November. For a while, it looked like the Falcons were indeed going to crush the Patriots. And progressive Twitter couldnt have been happier. And then, in an uncanny election night parallel, things began to turn around on the liberals. With a strip-sack, a miracle catch, and a tenacious drive by Tom Brady, the Pats turned the game around for the win in overtime. Things were looking a lot like Election Night. The annoying liberals rooting for a Patriots defeat, they were all wrong. But the best reaction to the Patriots win is captured with one deleted tweet. Eat crow, lefties. Eat. Crow.

I don't even watch football but I was cheering the Patriots. I heard they were kinda a-holes so I figured that they must, by default, be my team. I also thought Goodell went way overboard on the so-called Deflategate. The situation was entirely the fault of the league itself. It was an attempt to impose rule enforcement after the fact, just to try to get at the Patriots, damage their record and hurt their recruiting. The post-game was all kinda ho-hum except for Goodell getting solidly booed by the Pats fans. He had this kinda sick smile on his face as he handed over the big trophy. Pretty funny stuff. : )
