SUPER BOWLS MATTER

Copy of NEW WEB HEAD TEMPLATE

 

Hundreds took to the streets of Boston on Sunday to show support a group of millionaires going head-to-head on a field in Arizona. The group did not seem to have any demands or clear messaging, though many donned red, white, and blue to a degree that some might call cultish.

 

Some of the disruptors blocked traffic throughout the evening. In anticipation for such an action, there was an increased police presence in Kenmore Square and around some of Boston’s major sports bars, from where it is reported that marchers held clandestine meetings. Some roadways were preemptively closed.

 

In other neighborhoods, illegal deployment of fireworks was widespread, witnesses say. The Boston Police pleaded with revelers to “be respectful” and “stay classy,” but reports say that their requests were not heeded. A property damage estimate is forthcoming.
