Do not Honor him with your presence!

Philadelphia Eagles - Super Bowl 59 Champs. Kinda just rolls off the keyboard.

The Superbowl Champions don't need to grovel before his Orange Majesty, especially after the bootlicking NFL had taken down all "End Racism" signs at the Silverdome last Sunday in order to avoid aggravating a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual offender who is also a racist and misogynist.

They COULDN'T have played in the Silverdome since it was torn down 2017-18.

The game was in Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

However, they DID remove the "End Racism" field marking - changing it to "Choose Love" which probably pissed him off worse. Apparently "Fuck Elon Musk" wasn't acceptable.

I knew there HAD to be something good about them after that ugly game. WTG, I wish we had beat you but this makes up for a lot of the loss in my heart anyway
