The New England Patriots: The Only Team in America to Represent 6 Blue States [View all]

So, before all you jealous football fans from places that don't win Super Bowls start whining about the Pats winning, just ponder that fact.

The fans that root for the best team to ever play this game are all from states that DIDN'T vote for Trump. Not just one state, SIX.

So, let's be happy for the fans who come from a region that at least knows how to vote

P.S. I know Trump won one electoral vote from Maine, but Hillary carried the state.
