The most fun take I heard about this: "Why are they playing a football game at the Bad Bunny concert?"

It was weird when American food franchises started advertising that they would show "the big game this weekend" in Canada and no one knew what they were talking about.
Then it started defaulting to that it must be that American game. Now I imagine most people hear about it from the internet before those signs go up.
If Canadian food companies were smart they’d put a big hockey game on the same night as the Super Bowl
I just wish they would get to the series finale sometime soon.
This one looks like a long runner. It feels a bit repetitive though
The cast shifts as often as a soap opera, it's how they keep it fresh.

The foreshadowing of the effects of concussions on players seems like they're setting up the finale, but it might take a while to get there.
Ironically enough, the excess of concussions nowadays are due to overly protective gear. It gives them a sence of protection that leads to more violent tackles, which then leads to more violent headshakes.
It's like when they introduced gloves in boxing. Pre-gloves, it hurt like a motherfucker to hit someone in the face. You'd have just as big of a chance to break your hand as the opponents jaw. So they had to make the gloves 'hurt' again by making them thinner.
If we’re doing bread and circuses in a state-funded colosseum, at least make it interesting and turn some wild animals loose or something. Even the Romans did better than a bunch of sweaty guys tossing around a pig hide in between ads.
turn some wild animals loose
Best we can do is Puppy Bowl

And it ended up being like the finale of game of thrones, so disappointing.
the superbowl is the great american holiday of spectacle. the people who watch it for the game are frustrated the best games happened in the playoffs, not the superbowl and that it's bloated with ads. the people who watch for the commercials are frustrated that they're less inventive and that they get pre-released before the super bowl. the people who watch for the halftime show are stuck for 2+ hours waiting for the part they like. the people who watch for the bloodsport don't like that the rules have been adjusted to reduce the harm players experience for their entertainment. the only thing that's holding all these groups together are a mutual desire to eat tortilla chips, dips, and sausages.
and nearly 50% of all americans watch. more people watch than vote. and none of them are happy with it. and we don't even get a day off for it. it's our most bizarre national ritual.
And again, two bands of brawlers beat themselves up over a ball, and they call this uncivilized bar fight "football" despite carrying the ball in the hands most of the time.
I came across something about it this morning, and thought, 'Oh, is that today?' Then I forgot about it again until this post.
I've never cared about sportsball, but I've learned enough about football to follow a game. I couldn't avoid it. Same for other sports, like baseball, golf, tennis, and even bowling.
I'm old and mostly alone now, I feel no desire to pretend to be interested anymore. Y'all have fun.
I never cared for it, but it felt like such an event that I've been to a lot of superb parties over the years. But now I barely knew it was happening.
Same goes for the Olympics. I remember watching it for hours and hours back in the day, but I didn't even know it was happening until I heard Vance got booed.
Culture is shattering.

Best time to go grocery shopping, stores are empty
I forgot yesterday that it was going on and went to Trader Joe’s after work. It was heavenly. Those stores are always so cramped.
I have a bunch of friends that head to an amusement park for the Super Bowl every year because there are no lines at all.

I'm surprised I didn't see anything like this yet.. Years ago, I heard the superbowl was one of the most important events to... traffic children. It makes sense because a lot of people are traveling internationally to one city. No one is going to question big families traveling together or an uncle traveling with many young ladies. Hotels can be reserved by entire entities who can trade/sell people floor by floor. The cover is that it's a party. It's terrible and terribly easy...
I had no idea it was today, until my dad mentioned it lol no idea whos even playing.

Where is /c/ihatesportsball when you need it, some pompous ass energy in this thread
Meh, I’d like sportsball better if they didn’t spend my taxpayer funds on stadium construction.
Or at least if we retained ownership of the stadium afterwards. I’d be a lot less annoyed if we were charging rent to the teams who use them.

Everytime one of my frienda where's a scarf of our local soccer club, I'm gonna tell them their cosplay looks fabulous.
The scarf is a stretch cuz the players don’t wear scarves, but I love it when my non-sports friends call my sports apparel fabulous. Wearing a jersey with a player’s name and number is inarguably cosplay. If they’re wearing too much apparel (usually the shirt and the shorts), the traditional insult is “full kit wanker”.
