Inside The Massive Super Bowl Security Preparations

[@wescook5200]

I was gonna troll but good to see that they're being extra safe

[@garlicbreathandfarts]

Seems a bit paranoid for just a sporting event.

[@TheMaverick231]

They've wrapped up Super Bowls in bubble wrap ever since 9/11. They get as much attention from the federal government as a State of the Union Address or Presidential Inauguration

[@zell8770]

Either 9/11 thing or Russia, Chinese thing 🤔

[@scrappy2585]

What a bunch of total rubes. Bro Presidents and important ppl tend to show up here. Its a terror target. what a bunch ofRee-ree's lol!

[@mandymetcalfe2610]

@@scrappy2585 this is probably due to canadian protests as well , there's been planning for a protest with the trucks heading up to block people from getting in or out of the stadium , more chances for a mass shooting or violence with half the extremists tying themselves on to the ones here .

[@arislopes1924]

They’re being extra af and wasting all our money on unnecessary stuff like the bomber jets and stuff. We don’t live in Active war zone

[@monicasmith9215]

Hello NBC News , and everyone thanks again 😊

[@karmakazi219]

Why would the Super Bowl need more security than any other football game?

[@countdebleauchamp]

That shouldn't be so hard, should it? Why the World Trade Center as opposed to just any skyscraper?

[@arislopes1924]

They’re being so extra like if Russia is gonna nuke us during the game or something

[@karmakazi219]

@@countdebleauchamp That's the dumbest analogy ever.

[@Cruilt]

@@arislopes1924 Kind of like that, its for terroist attacks since a lot of people are gonna be there.

[@aydencz1239]

@@countdebleauchamp Actually, the WTC was treated like any other skyscraper, which is why it was attacked

[@devilpupbear09]

Sounds like a regular day at the airport, gonna take forever to find your seats so everyone gonna have to wake 3 hours early to drive to the stadium.

[@CRMcGee2]

A super waste of time, money and effort. America you have better things to do.

[@Angry.General1461]

So they are involving the military into the Superbowl? What are they expecting? A September 11th to happen to the stadium?

[@smileychess]

Yes

[@Lelouch12195]

so that's where my tax money is going

[@beckyjacob9119]

Is the football paying for that stadium or did the tax payers provide it so owners are just richer. Have all owners paid all utilities for their stadiums. The average person that cares about how the rich get away with stealing from us should be boycotted.

[@viperq]

When it comes to security, drunk fans are a bigger problem than terrorist.

[@shrekgamer4199]

This is so much

[@drumtwo4seven]

SUPERBOWL... PERFECT TIME TO TAKE A NAP 😴

[@itsavaaaaa5673]

This isn’t random. There was a threat & theyre not telling us

[@juliepeeks4184]

This is BS, by our government. so football in more than people???

[@popsiclehead7124]

BOYCOTT!!!!!!

[@christinecallanan63]

Crazy that there's money for homoerotic gladiator games while children are trafficked, people suffer homeless on the streets and we're about to plunge ourselves into another senseless war, isn't it? Talk about warped priorities. At least they'll be giving out free pizza on game day at the homeless shelter where I'm staying. Woot woot. 🍕😑🚬

[@christinecallanan63]

There's no homoerotic gladiator games in the future.... jussoyaknow 😝🚬 I passed on the pizza at the shelter.....spent the day dancing in the park.....YOU know, doing something more CONSTRUCTIVE than watching grown men drool and swear over other grown men in tights fumbling around with balls. (I had a bean and cheese burrito and and IPA instead of pizza.....I'm vegetarian 😁👍)

[@kjchicago1]

I take it you're no football fan or sports fan-And I saw and DVR'd(taped)the whole thing

[@troybreedlove4195]

This reminds me of ancient Rome 😆 🤣 😂

[@Freightorious]

The trucker convoy shutting or disturbing the superbowl with honking is the team im rooting for. Its funny.

[@Jake-rs9nq]

Never happened

[@thomasdarling2553]

This is Super

[@samoautah82]

The true hero of American thank you law informant

[@4Realkevv]

Better get there 3-4hr early

[@blanchxoxo]

Really?? Is the president going to be there??

[@EMendonca-mp2mf]

Probably not. To busy still cleaning up after last administrations failures.

[@richterman3962]

Our current is a failure, he doesn't even know where he is

[@sdinim8695]

I hope Roger Goodell will pay for securing the Super Bowl not our tax $ 💵

[@MrPullup28]

You're doing way too much

[@billbright1755]

Hopefully a fiercely competitive game with outcome in doubt till final seconds. Blow outs are boring. Hey Jim it’s 35 to 0 but hey maybe a comeback is in the works. Let’s check in with Janis and our tailgate cam crew. These ribs are a crowd favorite and some have even found the beer garden. Now back to the action on the field 🏈.

[@AguadillaCGN]

Normally there is a TFR no fly zone at super bowl, I doubt that this is possible for LAX?

[@mosesofnow8662]

Bengals 0 Rams 0 Covid 942,000 dead Americans

[@brianwilhelmi2]

LET THE NFL PAY FOR THEM EXTRA SECURITY😂

[@nomasq]

Security is critical.

[@UpperEchelon8]

So much of Taxpayers money being wasted for useless things, Use that money for reducing inflation in America. 7.5% 40 year high. 😑

[@jonathanfirst5060]

Now if they can also do this operation in crime ridden neighborhoods.

[@JamesBond-hu9rg]

Where were that all on 9/11?

[@tatyanafadden2005]

I am officially scared 😶‍🌫

[@justinrangel2289]

The NFL should be covering the cost

[@viperq]

I'm pretty sure the NFL is paying for this.

[@ImSizo]

its not that deep lol

[@MrPullup28]

There's no threat

[@TheLalahead]

What does the ocean have to do with game security?

[@TimeSurfer206]

So, who else has their tickets to this year's Super Spreader Bowl? And may I take out an Insurance policy on you?

[@mikegomez7273]

The chicken is coming to rust

[@debbierushing723]

Hope the truckers block it all!

[@Scrappy90059]

hey

[@wobertbrahier3430]

Why so protected are aliens supposed to invade the Super Bowl

[@larryclutch]

a lot of celebrities and well known people come here its a terror target

[@trevorshaver9741]

Little boys playing kids games seem a little irrelevant and pointless in this day and age

[@stevengoff5291]

Hope no one shows up 😉

[@michaelgoodwins4623]

I'm English so forgive but is Tom Brady's team in the super bowl this year?

[@kjchicago1]

No they're Not-It's the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl 56 at Los Angeles's SoFi Stadium(Cincinnati's 3rd Super Bowl Appearance)

[@JamesBond-hu9rg]

Gee all this and Fighter jets are finally hovering above , where were they all on 9/11 ?

[@paulelliott4590]

Something I don’t understand. For most NFL football games, roads around the stadiums are blocked off. I drive a truck for a living. I’ve been to Green Bay, Chicago, Detroit, Miami, Cleveland and Los Angels. Sunday football game security forces me to find other routes to my destinations, but Major League Baseball, NBA, New England and Canada hockey games practically no security. What are they expecting to to happen Sunday, for that matter, who is paying for all this extra security?

[@kevinjones5457]

Would be terrible to have a slo-mo convoy circling (not parking) along access points to the game.

[@freepalestina48]

They’re still going to be some punk that manages to sneak in somehow

[@lmcg16291]

I’m proud of Law Enforcement !!

[@peters8181]

There will be so much crime 😆 🤣 😂

[@paulo4371]

Crypto Bowl!

[@overseer3072]

Corona 🤡🤣👺. Worse crime against humanity ever !!!!

[@hieuho12345]

Lol

[@jameswinterfield765]

die a man ..?

[@richterman3962]

And people wonder why aliens won't come see us, we spend more time fighting each other and watching barbaric activities, grown men fighting over balls like barbarians and cavemen Grow. Up, I'm 24 and I hate sports

[@kjchicago1]

Why Do You Hate Sports?

[@DJJamOfThaDose]

So this kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3mum3l-a8mebLs is what happened.
