An Open Letter To All New England Patriots Haters
Vox

Football season is one of my favorite sports seasons.

It brings people together and gives you a fun event to look forward to every week. I, myself, am a die-hard New England Patriots fan, and come from a long line of crazy Patriots fans as well. As a football fan, I clearly know that not everyone is going to love the Patriots because they have their own teams to support and I totally respect that.

However, I will never understand these "Patriot Haters."

Super Bowl LII brought on a great match up. Of course, my favorite, the New England Patriots, against the Philadelphia Eagles. First things first, I want to give so much props to the Eagles for making it to the Super Bowl for the first time in many years, and for winning their first ever Super Bowl.

However, in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, I heard many people's input on the hopes for certain outcomes in Superbowl LII, and let me tell you what's wrong with it.

"Who do you want to win the Super Bowl? Pats or Eagles?"
"Well, I don't even watch football, but I just know that I don't want the Patriots to win."

I heard the above interaction countless times leading up to the 2018 Super Bowl. I understand not wanting a team to win because it's not your home team, but I do not understand people's need to root against the Patriots. Whether you like the Patriots or not, you cannot deny that they have created an iconic football dynasty.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has gone down in history for his amazing accomplishments in his years of playing. The Super Bowl should be about celebrating the greatness of the game and celebrating these accomplished teams and players, and not about hating teams because of the extraordinary empire they have worked tirelessly to build.

In no way am I hating on any other team's fans, but make sure when you are supporting a team that you are supporting them, and are not just rooting for another team because you "hate the Patriots."

The Patriots earned their way to be where they are today and as a true football fan, you should respect that.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
