  2. Tls working hard to report about the superbowl with a twitter poll and reasons to watch the big game. The Vaad of Lakewood can be proud of their accomplishment

  3. Hocking about the superbowl is shallow and dumb. Nothing has changed and people watch it every year the bigger problem is those who try to make it lechatchila as an accepted thing for frum jews and proud to watch it. The websites hock about it for clicks and to show how woke they are.

  4. Wasn't following NFL but for those who bother to: from perusing briefly it seems the result was preordained from the league office. They prefer obviously La over the more decent Cincinnati

    They were barely any ref calls for 58 and 1/2 minutes, and then four against Cincinnati in the last minute and a half

  5. Hocking about the Super Bowl is like hocking about the WG shul politics. Nobody cares!

  6. I compared talking about it not the actual shul. Besides I didn’t even compare talking about the shul, I compared talking about the silly politics and name calling.
