Lifelong football enjoyer here, but I can no longer stomach the NFL anymore. I realize the league is, and has always been, an entertainment business but they don’t even bother hiding the massaging anymore. They’re clearly feeling threatened by the fact that college football is more interesting now with the CFP and transfer portal, so they’re desperate for dramatic narratives. wilL iT BE A ThREEPeAT? wILL keLCe PrOposE to tayLOR SWIfT? dID wE MEnTIon TAyLOR swIFT iS HEre?
Anyways, good thing I got into rugby recently cuz it’s Six Nations time
Two random groups of primitive brawlers fight over a ball that is not even round. All while serving ads, ads, and more ads. The perfect American sport.
Although you could make it even more American by handing those players some guns.
Usually I look forward to it and watch it every year. This year I have no desire to watch all the American patriotism that surrounds the game…
It’s kind of a funny thing, I don’t think I can miss the super bowl. I used to play football at lunch in middle school, and loved watching and following it then. Once I learned about concussions, I pretty much stopped watching. Not a huge fan of the halftime shows lately, and the ads have definitely gotten worse. The thing the super bowl is just a great time to go out and hang out with friends, so I’m going to watch it every year for a while.
I’ll have it on the second monitor of the computer. I agreed to lead a roleplay thing in a mud game I play in. Accidentally days got messed up so it’s this week and not next. Once that’s done I’ll sit on the couch and eat taquitos and try and understand downs again.
No? What does the superbowl have to do eith Midwest emo music?
Never been a football fan. But I very much want to see the entire stadium call Drake a pedophile at halftime.
Nope. Haven’t watched a single super bowl since before the 13 second game where the Bills lost to the Chiefs in the divisional round. The game was so much less painful to watch when the Bills never made the playoffs for 17 years. Now it’s too heart breaking
I’ll watch it because ‘in the uk’ but I don’t really want to see the refs hand KC another win.
Go Bears! (Been supporting them since 1984 and thought I’d picked an absolute winner).
Nah. I don’t really care unless my team (Steelers) is playing in it. Though, I will watch Kendricks halftime show performance afterwards, hoping that he decides to give a big “Fuck you” to drumpf, while ignoring drake entirely (the ultimate diss). But today is Leg day, and thou shalt keep holy the day of Legs, so I’ll probably catch some while it plays at the gym.
Hopefully the eagles win, so they can snub drumpf like they did last time. The chiefs would probably accept the invitation to the white house and be all giddy about it 🙄
Nope.
Kinda done with football now given the overal fanbase around me are MAGA heavy.
Same! I was looking forward to seeing Kendrick Lamar perform the halftime show. But I will just look it up later on or tomorrow on YT. And fingers crossed that Donny gets booed by the crowd.
They removed “end racism” from the end zones so no, I will not be supporting an organization that is pro-racism.
Honestly I stopped years ago due to how they handle concussions/injuries and just generally how vile the org is. But one more reason lol
I thought those were different at every stadium kinda like the helmet messages where they get picked by the player. Don’t the teams pick what is on the end zones? I have season tickets to the Bills and have never noticed the endzone message say stop racism I’ve never actually looked at the message so I don’t know exactly what it says but I think their message was always “Stop hate”
Yeah, that was another “they’re not even trying to hide it anymore” moment, considering they made that announcement right after Trump announced he would be at the game.
The wildest part of that press release was when the NFL spokesperson said that “Choose Love” was more fitting than “End Racism” because the country has been dealing with tragedies such as the LA fire and the DC plane crash. Like… how will choosing love prevent natural disasters and vehicle accidents?
Not going to watch but I will be looking up highlight clips of the crowd booing Trump.
Nope. First time in at least 20 years that I’m skipping it. Sick of apparent officiating favoritism towards Kansas City, not happy with the decision to remove “End Racism” from the end zones, pissed that the orange turd’s going to be there, and I’m sickened by Kelce and Mahomes saying they’re honored to play in front of him.
Puppy Bowl is always a good alternative!
i love my Seahawks and I usually catch the Superbowl but IDGAF about the chiefs winning any more and the eagles are not exciting
the commercials are shit. the halftime show is shit
only the gathering matters
God forbid people enjoy entertainment in their free time
sorry, i sometimes forget how sensitive sportsball fans are
Why don’t you cough up something you like so we can mock it for no reason
lol ok, video games and reading
but i think you’re mistakenly assuming that because you’re deeply concerned about having everyone’s approval for what you like, then everyone else must be too. i’m not.
