Dominate the Super Bowl

"I believe the New England Patriots will learn from the past and not take this lightly, I think they will secure the victory with the advantage of having possession of the ball twice."

"In the game at Foxborough, it might not turn into an offensive shootout, but rather the defensive group could control the game, the savvy Belichick will claim the victory."

"Given their current form, the New England Patriots should easily defeat the Kansas City Chiefs, perhaps not by a large margin, but Brady will firmly hold the initiative, and the game will go smoothly without waves, Belichick will continue to dominate the American League."

"Personally, I think the first half will decide the outcome of the game, a slight lapse might mess things up, Reed's team needs to be cautious about collapsing."

"If it were to Pittsburgh, Kansas might have some chances, but going to Foxborough, the result of the game was predestined early on."

One, two, three, four, five.

Buzzing busily, the eyes of the social media onlookers gathered in anticipation, not only looking forward to the New England Patriots' victory; they also awaited a resounding triumph, anxious for Brady to properly teach Li Wei a lesson, putting an end to the farce of the Asian running back becoming the face of the League."

These words are just the tip of the iceberg—

Mere droplets of water.

In fact, all sorts of disgusting, vomit-inducing racial discrimination filled social media.

The root of it all lay with the New England Patriots.

Founded in 1959, the New England Patriots were among the founding members of the American Football League and also one of the first teams to join the NFL in 1970.

The team is located in the Greater Boston area of Massachusetts, United States, and in 1971, they officially moved their home field to Foxborough, on the outskirts of Boston, and changed their name from the "Boston Patriots" to the current "New England Patriots."

Historically, the New England Patriots were not a strong team, having missed the playoffs for thirteen consecutive years, which was the longest streak at the time.

However, mysteriously, this long-time lackluster, unnoticed team, posing no threat, also happened to be one of the most disliked entities within the League.

All of this has historical reasons.

Tracing back to the European pioneer—or invasion—of the North American continent, New York and Boston were major port locations, but there were subtle differences between the two:

Those heading to the New England region, where Boston is located, were mainly English Protestants fleeing religious persecution, while those who remained in New York were more diverse, including speculators, blue-collar workers, and the poor.

Because of this distinction, the development of the New England region gradually became more rapid.

In the mid-20th century, they transferred most traditional industries to other states in the United States where labor costs were lower or to overseas, and the high-tech area centered on Boston began to rise, including biotechnology, education, finance, services, pharmaceuticals, and more.

Gradually, this became one of the richest and most advanced areas in the United States, hosting institutions like Yale University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and others; law, economics, politics, finance, and other sectors also gained a unique leading position in this region.

Naturally, people living in this area, whether actively or passively, began to differentiate themselves from other regions, and clear class distinctions started to permeate every corner of society:

From economy to politics, from education to law, from journalism to organized crime, from language to culture, everything about this area seemed to stand apart from the rest of the United States, boasting its own pride and dignity, refusing to be compared with other states.

In fact, the term "New England region" itself carries a "discriminatory meaning," because they claim to be descendants of the British Empire, not the mixed descendants of Native Americans and other immigrants.

Now the term "New England" is no longer very applicable, even outdated; it specifically refers to a area that includes six states: Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, with Boston as the center of the entire region.

Despite comprising six states, the area and population are not large—

The population of the entire New England region ranks only fifth among all the states in the United States; the total area ranks twentieth.

In other words, this is a very, very small region, but it has its own system.

On the North American continent, the West Coast led by Los Angeles and the East Coast led by New York are at odds with each other due to geographical and historical reasons; but in the midst of this, the New England region led by Boston stands aloof, even looking down on New York.

So, the New England region was never popular with the other states to begin with.

However, New England says: It doesn't matter, I don't care about your dislike, all of you here are trash, and I don't give a damn.

Fans familiar with the NBA should know that the Boston Celtics are a hotbed of racial discrimination in the league, with arrogant fans who don't even spare their own star players from verbal attacks, middle fingers, and throwing water bottles.

In 1972, "Ring King" Bill Russell even refused to attend his own jersey retirement ceremony at the Boston Garden.

And now, adding insult to injury, the Patriots have changed their name from "Boston Patriots" to "New England Patriots," adopting a name with a clear emphasis on lineage and adding the suffix "Patriots" as a provocative statement to the rest of America, claiming themselves to be the purest pioneers and patriots.

One can imagine, under such a historical and cultural backdrop, it's naturally difficult for fans from other regions to like this team, let alone harbor dislike.

However.

The most brutal reality is that professional leagues and competitive sports are ultimately about finance.

New England, as one of the regions with the strongest financial foundation, has teams in all the Big Four leagues and the football league, and all five teams have climbed to the top of their respective leagues more than once, including the New England Patriots, who have experienced long periods of turmoil and stagnation.

In 1994, Robert Kraft bought the New England Patriots amidst bankruptcy and turmoil, ushering in a new era.

In 2000, Bill Belichick became the team's head coach after a series of dramas, betrayals, and struggles, and in his first draft as head coach, he chose quarterback Tom Brady with the 199th pick in the sixth round—

The rest is all history.

The focus returns to the present.

The moment the New England Patriots' wildcard opponent was officially determined, a deluge of insults and curses surged toward Li Wei.

The team's fans were giving Li Wei a "warm welcome" in their own way, a special treatment unique to the New England region.

Those hideous curses, those unbearable slanders, ramped up the tension to the max, even the sanitized versions presented on social media were still shocking.

Clearly, Foxborough is sharpening its knives, ready to give Li Wei an unforgettable lesson.
