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
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!
No, the referees made bad calls in the semifinals, and so it feels like I’m watching a game that’s not about winners but about the organization’s picks.
I’m just here so I don’t get fined.
It isn’t being provided in a way I want to consume, so no.
Its on but not paying too much attention. Hard to find any joy in the world right now.
Live in one of the cities that played. Thought they won with the fireworks, but was kinda pathetic this year. Was told apparently they were getting thrashed and it was only halftime so people must have been setting off shit they got instead of staying up.
Good. I was worried they’d make another go at raising taxes for their stadium and would have a good chance if they won.
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.
No? What does the superbowl have to do eith Midwest emo music?
Came to say this.
Nope. Been a thoroughly dispiriting season for the Niners, and I have absolutely no wish to watch the Chiefs win yet again.
And that was before Trump, the End Racism thing and so on.
I love college football but haven’t been able to get into pro. I just dont feel attached to any team. I’ll hang out and watch it w friends sure, and eat but wish could be on the edge of my seat like the college playoffs that just ended.
If you don’t have a geographic attachment to any team, yeah, I could see how it would be hard. They all run pretty much the same offense… another reason I like college better, much more diversity in offensive systems
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.
The halftime show at least.
Def. gonna watch [email protected]
Yeah because it’s a day for beer, cooking, and entertainment. I don’t care much for the teams playing though.
Yes, but more because of the gathering of friends and less because the game is on. I’d prefer neither team win (I’ll be watching with a lot of Eagles fans, and as a Titans fan, I don’t want anyone being happy). Idk if I’d say the CFP stole the spotlight either, I’m almost certain the Superbowl always gets way more viewers than any other sporting event. NFL is just really leaning into narratives for casual viewers because they know NFL fans are gonna watch regardless.
Not going to watch but I will be looking up highlight clips of the crowd booing Trump.
