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
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
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...
Its on but not paying too much attention. Hard to find any joy in the world right now.
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.
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. 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!
Nope. Honestly fuck the NFL.
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.
You think they're scared of the CFP? I thought college football was worse than ever this year.
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.
No? What does the superbowl have to do eith Midwest emo music?
Came to say this.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It isn't being provided in a way I want to consume, so no.
I'll watch it because I'm 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).
Not going to watch but I will be looking up highlight clips of the crowd booing Trump.
Yeah because it’s a day for beer, cooking, and entertainment. I don’t care much for the teams playing though.
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.
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.
