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

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?
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”
Def. gonna watch !superbowl@lemmy.world
Fam we should totally post to !superbowl@lemmy.world during the game! I’m sure I can look up some owl art or something…
Looks like there’s an !nfl@lemmy.world. I don’t know if there’s college football stuff, though. Don’t follow it myself.
looks at lemmyverse.net
There’s a !cfb@lemmy.world, but it’s not very active.
Ah. Apparently someone set up an sports-devoted instance, fanaticus.social, and it appears to have a !cfb@fanaticus.social, plus communities following various teams and such.
No superb owls to be seen on those at all, really
Maybe someone will make nocturnal_avians, a la /r/trees and /r/marijuana_enthusiasts or /r/worldnews and /r/anime_titties.
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.
Not going to watch but I will be looking up highlight clips of the crowd booing Trump.
Nope. Honestly fuck the NFL.
God forbid people enjoy entertainment in their free time
sorry, i sometimes forget how sensitive sportsball fans are
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.
Never been a football fan. But I very much want to see the entire stadium call Drake a pedophile at halftime.
It was awesome
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.
No? What does the superbowl have to do eith Midwest emo music?
Came to say this.
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.
Non-Americans watch football too, especially the Super Bowl
The halftime show at least.
I assure you the kitty halftime show of the puppy bowl will be better
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.
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…
