Stupid Bowl prevents SF bus service for 3 weeks

by SF Taxpayer
With Stupid Bowl 50 Banners plastered everywhere in downtown San Francisco, including on the Ferry Building and on Market Street poles, we are reminded again of the criminality of its local supporter, the Democrat-Republican Party, promoting profits before people, giving $5 million of our tax dollars to the billionaire football gambling racket instead of housing the homeless.
With Stupid Bowl 50 Banners plastered everywhere in downtown San Francisco, including on the Ferry Building and on Market Street poles, we are reminded again of the criminality of its local supporter, the Democrat-Republican Party, promoting profits before people, giving $5 million of our tax dollars to the billionaire football gambling racket instead of housing the homeless.

They have not only forced the end of parking on Mission and Market Street east of First Street as of this week, also as of this week, they have told the homeless who stay on the Embarcadero to leave the area, who have nowhere to go but another cold sidewalk far from this drunken corporate advertising nightmare, and have told the streets artists whose very survival depends on their selling their creations and food outside the Hyatt Regency at the foot of Market Street, to move west of Third Street if they can find a spot.

Our buses are now rerouted FOR AN ENTIRE THREE WEEKS from January 23 to February 12, 2016 from going to the end of Market and Mission Streets to turning around at Kearny or First Street. When there are parades in San Francisco, our buses are rerouted, but that is only for 1 day. This is for 3 weeks, although the Stupid Bowl takes place in Santa Clara, 45 miles south of San Francisco, on 1 day, February 7, 2016.

In addition to Stupid Bowl banners, we have Stupid Bowl ads in all the retail stores that sell junk food and alcohol, reminding everyone that the Stupid Bowl is one stinking, profiteering garbage scene, to be avoided by everyone who does not have to travel to the Financial District of San Francisco to work, and for those of us who do work in the area, to avoid Market and the Embarcadero for 3 weeks, where the Stupid Bowl has already taken over the Bocci Ball courts and Justin Herman Plaza.

To some, the 19 years since the 49er Stadium Swindle election of June 3, 1997 might be a long time ago, but since most voters are over age 40, it is not long ago at all that the 49er football team, a millionaire’s private profit gambling business, promoted a phony election to build a new stadium in San Francisco, and had its election fraud team, which by definition included the police as that is the only way election fraud can take place, change our votes from 70% No to 50.1% yes. This election fraud is more fully described at
http://www.brasscheck.com/stadium/

A lawsuit was filed to overturn that infamous election and Dolores Evans, a polling place supervisor who lived in public housing in the Bayview Hunters Point area with 5 children, was about to be interviewed by a private investigator about the election fraud she witnessed when a few days before the interview, she and the 5 children were murdered in her home in a suspicious fire that the fire department said they could have escaped but someone stopped them.

Only Peace & Freedom and the Green Parties opposed the 49er Stadium Swindle.

The Democrat-Republican Parties were proud promoters of the 49er Stadium Swindle, just as they are proud promoters of the Stupid Bowl today. They are also proud promoters of police death squads, as we witnessed with the execution of Mario Woods on December 2, 2015 in Bayview Hunters Point.

While you are walking on Market Street, you can and should tell everyone that the Stupid Bowl banners are good reminders of why everyone should vote Peace & Freedom or Green as the Democrat-Republican Parties only promote Stupid Bowl profiteering while P&F and the Greens prefer to house the homeless with our tax dollars.

You should also change your party registration to Peace & Freedom or Green now. You can register online at:

I rather agree with you about the low value of the Bowl event. Wouldn't go to see, wouldn't bother even to watch on TV.

BUT, and that's a very big but, I am quite aware that a very great number of people do. For reasons that make no sense to me, they value this, want it.

So sorry, but democracy is NOT about what the people should want according to my supposedly greater wisdom. It is about what they do want, for whatever reason.

And please, leave capitalism out of this. I have not noticed a lesser interest in "sport" in the socialist and communist countries than here.

Ogranizing politically to oppose events like this is a waste of time. You are NOT going to convince the people not to waste their time (your judgement) on sporting events.

Mike Novack fails to get the message stated in the first line "promoting profits before people, giving $5 million of our tax dollars to the billionaire football gambling racket instead of housing the homeless." THERE IS NO PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL WITHOUT THE GAMBLING PROFITS. There is no sport in this garbage at all. This is grand larceny of the San Francisco taxpayers to the tune of at least $5 million for which the billionaire football organization so far has refused to reimburse the taxpayers and all we will get is traffic gridlock, if anyone shows up in the rain and cold in the winter, which we have here at the 38th parallel north of the equator, the same parallel as St. Louis, MO and Washington, DC. It freezes 14 miles outside San Francisco when it is not raining in the winter. WE NEED OUR BUSES FOR WHICH WE PAY tax dollars and bus fares. Our hotels are already full since San Francisco has no snow in the winter and cool temperatures in the summer, making it a desirable tourist destination all year. This is just a palm-greasing show for the TV commercials and outright theft of our tax dollars, destroying our city services, by a gambling racket, FOR THREE WEEKS, and the main show is one day in February 45 MILES SOUTH OF SAN FRANCISCO, all brought to us PROUDLY by the DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF SAN FRANCISCO.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
