As Tech giants banded together to file a legal brief against the US president’s temporary immigration ban, Donald Trump relished his first Super Bowl as president, tweeting his own anthem “Enjoy the Super Bowl and then we continue ‘Make America Great Again”. Trump’s friendship with star quarterback Tom Brady also caused controversy over the match.

For all those who supported the Patriots but disagreed with Tom Brady’s ties to Trump, the hashtag #AGoodGame offered a way to watch without political guilt.

If you have political Patriots fan ambivalence, maybe pledge a little money to a good cause when they score using the hashtag: #AGoodGame— Josh Gondelman (@joshgondelman) February 3, 2017
