        I don’t want it here either. Don’t come to Meadowlands Stadium. It would send a clear message if the final game (and any others held there) has zero attendance and zero viewers.

        We’re already jammed on weekends. Don’t come to NJ. Don’t attend the games.

      I think it’s the phrasing “consider themselves at war” that is causing the down votes.

        Until the US Congress declares a war, we’re committed to a limited armed intervention. They’re calling it a war. The Iranian authorities don’t consider it being policed or limitedly intervened. For them, it’s a war.

          Yankee logic: thirteen thousand air strikes is not a war because of some legalist mumbo jumbo. How dare they call it a war! If they do, they shouldn’t play sports.

          I agree with you, and you are technically correct which I guess is rubbing people the wrong way.
