LOL.  Hunky, you'll engender more fury for canceling a Super Bowl than you would for a terrorist attack.

Speaking of which, it looks like next season will be lost to a lockout...

Well, after 2010, I'll agree with you that damn near the whole of the Broncos could be replaced.

I'll give you a hint, the answer is no. The Super Bowl is not a government property, it is not owned by We the People. Therefore the owners may do whatever they wish. They may impose whatever security arrangements they wish, and if they are excessive, then don't go. Problem solved.

Are the taxpayers paying for these lavish security measures?

Status: offline 		OP I'm making a rather large assumption based on some of your posts I've read, and you seem like the kind of person who would

A. Start a thread asking where Law enforcement was if they didn't have a security plan and something happened

B. Try and blame it on Obama.

Oh and another thing "the ball teams are replaceable" Not one single solitary human life is "replaceable", just because they are professional athletes does not make them less human without families who care about em.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I call it like I see it.

surely the Superbowl - along with other major sporting/cultural events - is representative of AMERICA - and calling it off just means that "the bad guys (or just their spectres) win"

I am sure Americans will bumble amiably through the security checkpoints - probably more sober than their British football fan equivalents

its like the old quote when Churchill was asked why he wouldn't reduce the arts budget during WW2 - he is reported to have replied “Then what are we fighting for?"

Enjoy the day - whining, pathetic others - go for a walk, do some overtime at work (IF you work) - loads of people will be delighted if you provided cover I am sure - but (mainly) stop
bloody whining and crapping your pants at shadows and cars backfiring - you live in (and enjoy, generally) a country built by people who would have gone out to see what the noise WAS, not
hide in the basement posting wild guesses about it on websites run by their weaker-willed comrades

the match needs a ball - some of the posters on here need more

oh and **** the Packers. Seriously.

Status: offline 		Actually the first superbowl weekend that the game was broadcast live in Europe (yeah a long time ago), my Division was in the field.   The commander allowed it to return to base to watch the game (at like 2 am) and return to the field for maneuvers at noonish.   lol   I stayed in the field since there were guards to watch the equiment and tents.   All guards were volunteers.   I wonder how much money the Commander wasted on this effort?  Just wondering.
