Political activist group organizing boycott of Super Bowl

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010
A national conservative political activist group is urging
people not to watch the Super Bowl this year, and instead read
a book about politics or history. Mark Dice, spokesman for The
Resistance, calls football the "opiate of the masses"
and says Americans' obsession with sports is partially to blame
for the decline of country.
"Most Americans know more about football than they do
about the Constitution or their political leaders," says
Mark Dice, who last week posted a video on YouTube showing him
gathering signatures on a petition to repeal the First Amendment
to prove his point. "People yell and scream at the TV when
their team messes up, but they aren't even aware when politicians
pass legislation that will cause higher taxes, deeper government
dept, or violate the Constitution."
"This Super Bowl Sunday we are urging people to leave
their televisions turned off and do something productive like
reading a book," he says. Dice suggests that parents ask
their children for their civics book or any text book about
American history and begin reading it.
"Imagine how fast we could stop the corruption in Washington
DC if every weekend, instead of 60,000 people traveling to a
stadium to watch a football game, that many people would march
outside the capitol," explains Dice. "Unfortunately,
professional sports are the opiate of the masses and keep people
distracted from what's actually important."
In the last few years Mark Dice has organized multiple successful
national boycotts, including against Starbucks coffee, pop music
stars, and Scientology. Dice is the founder of The Resistance,
a conservative political activist organization which has several
thousand members. He lives in San Diego, California.
"When the people find they can vote themselves
money, that will herald the end of the republic."
