Dem: Shutdown would End if Super Bowl Cancelled

Would you demand an end to the government shutdown if it affected the Super Bowl?

One Democrat anonymously told Fox News that cancelling the Super Bowl, “would definitely lead to the end of the government shutdown.”

While that might sound hyperbolic, a House Democratic Caucus meeting Thursday actually turned to discussion of the game and the ongoing shutdown’s impact on it.

The feds involvement in the Super Bowl includes TSA screenings of fans at airports travelling to and from the big game not to mention those working at the Department of Homeland Security and in law enforcement on counter-terrorism measures.

All part of keeping the event safe. For now, it’s all talk since nobody in the executive branch, which oversees those involved in such security, has said operations would not occur. However, that hasn’t stopped some in the Democratic Party from at least talking about possible disruptions.
