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
This superbowl was awful honestly. Pregame performers were bad and had no energy, halftime show was awful to listen to if you didn’t know Kendrick’s music already, and the game was a beat down. The only saving grace was mahomes flopping on the big stage after everyone hyped that team up for the 3peat
I mean, how was the game? Surely you don’t watch it for the singers.
The game was extremely one-sided and the chiefs looked like what I expected. Strong defense, weak offense that couldn’t do anything against a better defense. But the entire year the announcers talked about how great mahomes was, and how they were going to just turn it up when it was superbowl time. That didn’t happen
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.
Its on but not paying too much attention. Hard to find any joy in the world right now.
You think they’re scared of the CFP? I thought college football was worse than ever this year.
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 is 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.
No? What does the superbowl have to do eith Midwest emo music?
Came to say this.
It isn’t being provided in a way I want to consume, so no.
Never been a football fan. But I very much want to see the entire stadium call Drake a pedophile at halftime.
And they did
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 🙄
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.
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).
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?
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
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.
