honestly, i don't hate them either. i'm just sick of them.
i watch sports for entertainment.
if you keep getting the same predictable outcome over and over again, it ceases to be entertaining. i'm not blaming NE for this. it isn't their fault they're better than everyone else. i'm just saying i'm no longer interested in watching.
i'd be willing to bet the viewership for the superbowl is down this year. not because of any political statement, but because outside of NE and Philly, nobody gives a shit about these two teams.
