Haven't watched the NFL since the kneeling/wokeness began. Have been pondering of maybe watching the SB this year to see the reaction (if TV shows it) to Trump. Don't really care for either team so don''t/didn't care who wins.
Don't care much for Mahomes (he's on everything...preferential treatment by refs). Tired of reading an article on every sports page of Kelce and Swift. Never cared for Philadelphia (almost went to school there...didn't like the city).

"He's welcome to do what he wants," Hurts said........Hurts called Obama an "all-time leader" in October.
Mahomes and Kelce expressed more excitement for Trump's attendance when they were asked.
Kelce called it an "honor" earlier this week. "I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I know I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life, you know. And having the president there, you know, it’s the best country in the world. So, that’d be pretty cool," Kelce said.
Mahomes gave his thoughts on Trump attending the game to reporters Wednesday. "It's always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president," Mahomes said. "Someone that is at the top position in our country." '
