Seems like nothing, "official" Anonymous twitter disavows and FBI says they aren't aware of a credible threat . But I don't even really care about football. Hard call if it is worth it.
If I had tickets, I would go. The car ride there is probably a bigger risk right now.

I was at a dinner last night, and I said the same thing. I'd be more afraid of someone texting and driving than I would be of ISIS.

Domestic terrorist attack. Not ISIS. Not that they're any better, but let's not forget most acts of terrorism in this country are home grown.

Looks like we are pretty comfortable with these threats.

No threat. There was an anonymous claim of a threat, which the FBI said was "unsubstantiated."

Yes, statistically we are more likely to die in a car crash than terrorist attack.

People ... terrorists do not give notice of their planned attacks ahead of time. They might leak rumors to stir fear and intimidation. But they do not announce "Hey Atlanta! We're gonna do something at Phillips Arena on Sunday .... heads up!"

Never, ever not ONCE in the modern era of terrorism has a THREAT resulted in an INCIDENT. It simply does not work that way.

False. For one example, the Taliban announced in advance that they were going to blow up Buddha statues, and then did exactly that.

Didn't Bin Laden make threats that they were going to strike the U.S, a couple of months before 9/11?
