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. Honestly fuck the NFL.
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.
Def. gonna watch [email protected]
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
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.
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 🙄
Tempted to go to a sports bar to laugh at all the chuds that get mad each time Taylor Swift shows up on screen for 5 seconds.
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…
No? What does the superbowl have to do eith Midwest emo music?
Came to say this.
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.
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.
The halftime show at least.
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.
Never been a football fan. But I very much want to see the entire stadium call Drake a pedophile at halftime.
And they did
It was awesome
