I'll be rooting against the patriots because I don't like Tom Brady. For a wide range of reasons.

Btw, you libs have gotten way too weird about NE.
Seems to me it was a Trump supporter who came on to "whine" (using a word they are fond of using) about the lack of "free speech" (when clearly he doesn't understand the actual meaning of it), concerning Tom Brady political leanings and whether people should boycott support of the NE Patriots as a result.

Interestingly, the same poster has indicated he will boycott "Hollywood" over non-support of Trump.

Boycott the Patriots - no Freedom of Speech!

Boycott Hollywood - ok because who do those damned liberal elites think they are?

Perhaps the OP just needs a hug and a safe space?

I will always root against New England, as long as Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are there, because Belichick is a cheater and Tom Brady is Mr. Perfect with his supermodel wife.

I live in Massachusetts and the majority of my friends are liberal and not a single one of them are rooting against the Patriots. I haven't run into a single person that feels this way.
It's a diverse team that has supporters of all the candidates.
If someone uses this as an excuse to cheer against the Patriots, they weren't real fans of the team in the first place.

I won't be rooting for anyone since I don't care about football & I never watch the SuperBowl. I don't even know what time it starts....I'll have to check into that so I know when to tune in to watch the halftime show.

Rooting for the Falcons even though they beat Packers to get there. The Pats have won the Super Bowl four times. Time for another team to win.

I've been a Jets fan since they were the Titans ( no need for sympathy, I KNOW ) so I've never liked the Pats, but I'd kinda like to see Brady on the victor's stand with Goodell.

"Will You Be Rooting Against The Patriots In The Super Bowl Because Of Tom Brady's Support For Trump"

Oh my goodness, that would be rather shallow. I actually really don't care who wins.

I only watch the World Cup and the NHL playoffs, but if we were into American football, we'd have to root for the Falcons because my husband is a born and bred NYCer who always roots against Boston.

Actually maybe we will... I have a craving for wings and fried pickles today, so that would be a good excuse to order them for takeout!
