The Super Bowl Is Only Good for Home Appliance Sales.
If you are a “sports” “fan” like me, then you would love to do something other than football on Sunday (or I guess Europeans call it football ).
However, my total disdain for the Super Bowl is due not only to its sportiness, but to the whole experience . The Big Game tries to attract the entire family with its spectacular (wasteful) advertising and flamboyant (over-the-top) halftime show. (Do we really need to gather around to watch commercials and listen to recorded music? That’s why we have Hulu and Spotify.) Even if your friends insist that “Nobody is interested in the game! Just come! “There will always be one person who will boo you so that he can watch closely.
So instead of competing in the Super Bowl, I’m suggesting a few other activities to keep you busy on a chilly Sunday evening. How about going to see one of the current Oscar nominees? Or go to a good dinner – any non-sports establishment will be completely empty. Will you really feel so bad about missing a game that you haven’t followed for the rest of the season?
And, okay, you probably think that I bully sports for no good reason. So in the interest of sportsmanship (blech), I will offer some good feedback on the Super Bowl. First, there are often big TV and grill sales that will allow you to buy for non-football purposes. It is also, of course, the only time that Roman numerals have returned to the collective consciousness. So someone, somewhere, might say, “Wait, what’s the L number?” And then they’ll find it and find out something .
I’m not entirely sure what “49” is, but to some it definitely sounds offensive.
