Super Sunday is here!   The Kansas City Chiefs play the Philadelphia Eagles.

Security in New Orleans is a primary concern and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security says that it is prepared. DHS Security Secretary Kristi Noem traveled to New Orleans this week to observe security operations. “More than 690 employees representing 12 DHS agencies are in New Orleans, providing air security resources; venue, cyber, and infrastructure security assessments; chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives detection technologies; intelligence analysis and threat assessments; intellectual property enforcement; and real-time situational awareness reporting as part of a 20-year partnership with the National Football League and state and local law enforcement.”

The Super Bowl comes at an interesting time. 

NPR reports that “President Trump will also be [at the Super Bowl]! Oh, and perhaps not coincidentally: The NFL is removing the lettering from the end zone on its football fields that reads `END RACISM’!”

Two African American quarterbacks, an NFL rarity, are starting in the big game.

In response to President Trump’s mass deportation campaign, pro-immigrant groups have called for a general strike on Super Sunday in Philadelphia to show how important immigrants are to the regional economy.

Last but not least, Haitian-born NFL safety, Lewis Cine, is headed to the Super Bowl .
