Patriots ‘End Zone Militia’ Banned from Boston Victory Parade.

Jets Patriots Football.JPEG-0db34When the Patriots score at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, the End Zone Militia fires off a musket salute.

The End Zone Militia isn’t part of the team. They don’t get paid. In fact, they have no affiliation with the organization. They are reenactors there to add some historical flavor to the franchise name. And they’ve been told they may not march in today’s Super Bowl victory Parade in Boston.

Two years ago, when New England beat Seattle for their fourth championship, the Militia marched with the Duck Boats through Boston. This time around, they have been told no. You can’t come. But the City of Boston says it was not their decision.

So who decided and why? Was it the scary muskets? What’s different today from two years ago? What’s the difference from four days ago when the same group was at a rally in Faneuil Hall, in Downton Boston?

No one is talking but the reenactors are holding out hope. The parade starts at 11 am Eastern.
