Anti-Trump Protest Groups Plan ‘Secretive’ Demonstrations During Super Bowl LI

To many, the Super Bowl is the ultimate American competition. Two teams — and their fans — come together to celebrate the best in America’s biggest sport. But many Americans still haven’t gotten over their loss in November, and they’re planning to ruin the Super Bowl because they didn’t get their way:

People representing more than a half-dozen protest groups that are set to march and rally here Super Bowl weekend met to coordinate their efforts — in a way New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick would have appreciated. That is to say, the protesters discussed using encrypted communication that would keep opponents from intercepting their messages.

It was so secretive Tuesday night, not all of the group representatives got the full game plan, said Blake Stroud, who created a group called #ResistHouston to connect the protesters and provided USA TODAY Sports with an account of the meeting.

“I guess they’re going for the element of surprise,’’ he said.

The goal: Present a large, loud, peaceful and, in the end, united front, mostly targeting President Trump and his policies on immigration. No fewer than five marches and rallies are scheduled across Houston for Friday through Sunday, and the protests will culminate on game day outside NRG Stadium, site of Super Bowl LI.

Brian Harrison, a local attorney who has provided support for the protesters, said, “Meanwhile, there’s a game being played on Sunday. I haven’t had any time to pay attention to it.’’

Patriots, Falcons sidestep questions on President Trump
Patriots’ Tom Brady on Trump controversies: ‘I have a right to stay out of it’
Less than a month after women’s marches drew millions of people around the globe and huge airport protests erupted over Trump’s immigration ban, the politically charged climate has created an unprecedented atmosphere during Super Bowl week.

Yes, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and coach Belichick have been asked about their matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. But they’ve been pressed harder to address their relationship with Trump.

Other members of the Patriots and Falcons were asked if they’d attend the White House if their team wins, with the players’ answers presumably serving as a referendum on whether they support Trump. Other players were asked for their opinion on Trump’s temporary “ban” on immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries.

Protesting hasn’t exactly won the left many fans. As these protests ultimate devolve into riots, the left remove any doubt that they are sore losers with no respect for Democracy. So let them protest. They’re only hurting themselves.
