The Patriots are an American Football team in "New England" because those states all had to get together to get their own football team.

They are technically not a party, more of a lobby. Technically speaking, they are "independents" but identify themselves with the non-existent "Tea Party". >> For some reason, the US likes to spend most of it's money on >> sports that nobody in the rest of the world cares about.

The players weren't seeing things that way: they all complained that their salaries weren't absurdly high /enough/ and threatened not to actually play this season.
