Why do you watch the Super Bowl?

[CharBaby]

Get together for one last game, have some food. See'ya in Sept.

 

[vavavroom]

Zero interest.

I watch the halftime show. I could care less about the game and the commercials.

I'm the opposite, I could care less about the half time show and commercials.

Not able to non-rev? Would think it would be pretty easy today...

Risk management strategy.

Was in Stowe, VT this morning, and have to work at 08:00 tomorrow in Denver. This is the last flight out. If there had been a cancellation, or bad weather (which is happening just now, South and West), then non-rev would have been a problem.

So, booked a ticket, at a great price, and had a relaxing day, not worrying about how I was going to get to Denver. In all honesty, I didn’t even think about my flight being coincident with the game.

I'm not since it's another 49ers / Chiefs matchup

What is interesting to me about pro sports are the salaries. No athlete can possibly make 1+ bil per year like a hedge fund manager, but soon there will billion dollar multi year contracts…

Again it’s still entertaining to watch. I would not pay to see even my own team in person…

Some of the attitude here towards sports has been my mom’s my entire life

I love sports. I love participating in them. I even love watching sports. I will go out of my way to watch real sports, like when my kids were competing in various sports events, Soccer, Field Hockey, Ski racing, and I try to get up to Boston for the Head of the Charles each year.

The SuperBowl isn’t sports - it is obsession with celebrities, wrapped in commercialism, and pushed by hugely influential corporations.

Yuck.

Looking forward to the Chiefs winning another SB

 

[gman2304]

I record it then start watching an hour after the start and FF through the fluff.

 

[BAJA_05]

HUGE football fan. From mites all the way up to and including the NFL. Real man sport.........

 

[72C10]

Not really interested in most sports any more. I've found other hobbies that I enjoy. Have fun if that's your thing.

 

[SeaJay]

Seriously at this point who could care about the NFL?

Many, many millions of people care enough to follow the goings on and to watch the game itself with friends and family.

9ers baby! Red and Gold everywhere! Bang bang 9er gang!
Do it for the Bay!

We shoulda beat the Chiefs last time but Garoppolo couldn't make a lousy 1st down in the last few minutes. And he badly overthrew a wide open Kittle for an easy TD.

I took my Dad to the games in the 80's; got season tickets when he got cancer. Lotta wins in those days. Luckily he beat the cancer and made it to 95.
Now we take my grandnieces to one game a year; their father passed away tragically years ago.
Due to wifey's business connections, we've been in a lux box 6 times, I think. I could never afford such a thing.

 

[nickaluch]

I'll be watching super bowl Sunday is almost a national holiday it's been a big get together day for my friends and family since I was a kid.

Now you're talkin'

 

[wavinwayne]

I read it for the articles..

 

[JeffKeryk]

Now you're talkin'

You wouldn't believe the food. Plus, you park in a special lot that's a 1 minute walk to your entrance. I think the cheapest small box is $10K per game, not including food or parking. Holds 20 maybe? Sheesh.

 

[Nick1994]

I couldn’t care less about sports. But I’ll watch the halftime show. Probably on YouTube once they upload it.
