The only ‘Super Bowl’ I’ll be enjoying this Sunday
I came across something about it this morning, and thought, ‘Oh, is that today?’ Then I forgot about it again until this post.
I’ve never cared about sportsball, but I’ve learned enough about football to follow a game. I couldn’t avoid it. Same for other sports, like baseball, golf, tennis, and even bowling.
I’m old and mostly alone now, I feel no desire to pretend to be interested anymore. Y’all have fun.
I never cared for it, but it felt like such an event that I’ve been to a lot of superb parties over the years. But now I barely knew it was happening.
Same goes for the Olympics. I remember watching it for hours and hours back in the day, but I didn’t even know it was happening until I heard Vance got booed.
Culture is shattering.
Football? But it’s still cricket season.
Still adapting to EST. It’s inhumane and outrageous this shit goes down at 630pm every year. How do people work on Monday??
How do people work on Monday??
Tired, often hungover.
Am in the UK. Will be having buffalo wings for breakfast.
I’m near 45 and have a 5 year old. Even I can stay up to 930, have a drink or two, and wake up to get the kid to school. It’s not exactly clubbing until 3am.
Best time to go grocery shopping, stores are empty
OH! This is why it was busier than usual this morning. I wondered why. I usually shop Sunday morning because people are in church, and the grocery store is empty.
I have a bunch of friends that head to an amusement park for the Super Bowl every year because there are no lines at all.
Maybe after it starts. The grocery was a zoo this morning with people getting ready for it.
Where is /c/ihatesportsball when you need it, some pompous ass energy in this thread
Let’s have realistic about the demographic here in fediverse 🤣
Meh, I’d like sportsball better if they didn’t spend my taxpayer funds on stadium construction.
Or at least if we retained ownership of the stadium afterwards. I’d be a lot less annoyed if we were charging rent to the teams who use them.
Lol, no you wouldnt.
Youd still find a way to be in the out group because it makes you feel special
So angy.
Yes that is something that’s not right and you are entirely justified in being upset about it.
However it’s kind of unrelated as here you are being kind of a douchenozzle and shitting on people for liking different things than what you like. Which is kind of ironic give how much supposedly a lemming should be different from others and liking other things, like Linux over “Normie” windows.
Just because people don’t like the same game you do it doesn’t mean they are shitting on it.
That’s you being overly defensive for no reason.
I’m shitting on it.
It’s slow, has a ton of advertising ( probably more than actual play time), causes CTE, wastes money at colleges that would be better spent elsewhere, covers up sex crimes etc.
There are a ton of more interesting / exciting sports than American football.
I’ll still attend a gathering today but only because I like food and socializing whether the game is on isn’t really relevant to me .
That’s you being overly defensive for no reason.
Try again bucko, I am from Europe, there is only one Football and that’s where you actually kick the ball…
Doesn’t mean you can just shit on what someone else likes, or I mean you can and you can act like a dick about it, but all it does is reveals what an asshole you are.
Going by the downvotes there is a few of you around here having an issue facing this fact. 🤷♂️
Have you considered that you are the one being defensive about rightly being called out on your asshole behavior?
ok bucko, lol
K
I’m making pizza, and we will be watching the Puppy Bowl.

The right answer.
I just wish they would get to the series finale sometime soon.
This one looks like a long runner. It feels a bit repetitive though
The cast shifts as often as a soap opera, it’s how they keep it fresh.
You see how much money is being made on sports betting… Hmmm. I wonder if that will have an effect on the outcome?
Why should it. Betting is a licence to print money. It’s like owning a casino.
I got $500 on “will have an effect”
My folks’ fav characters got killed off a few episodes ago but for some reason everyone is still hyped for the finale
They took that one guy out with an ankle injury. Shoddy writing IMO.
remember that time they couldnt think of an opponent for the NFC for 4 years in a row so they just had the bills there to lose them all? THAT was shoddy writing
Come on, that was hilarious. Big fan of those 4 seasons.
United won 1-0 I think
That’s not a lot of touchgoals but good for them!
They picked the wrong driver. Should have gone with the wedge.
The thing about Arsenal is, they always try to walk it in.
I had no idea it was today, until my dad mentioned it lol no idea whos even playing.
I used to watch a lot of football. It would consume so much of my time. I’m not sure if it’s getting older, having kids, manufactured drama, folks tying their identity to something they have no control over, or the ‘kneeling’ bullshit but it was kind of eye opening when a buddy of mine called me today to ask who I was rooting for and I genuinely had no idea what he was talking about. I don’t think he believed me when I told him I didn’t know what he was talking about. I haven’t seen a single game all year and I don’t think I’ve missed anything. Happy that folks find enjoyment in it but I just don’t think it’s my bag anymore.
I was slightly interested in getting into it. Youtube had some 15 minute sample of Sunday Ticket. So I figured I’d catch the end of the Bears game. Why not.
13 of the 15 minutes were ads and the demo ran out. Iirc it was exorbitantly priced to continue, and you wouldn’t get everything.
So instead I watch pro League of Legends. Not as relatable, but a hell of a lot cheaper to watch, and I enjoy it.
New England Hawks vs Sea Patriots.
If, for whatever reason, you are called upon to bluff your way through a conversation about the Super Bowl, you can say that you’re rooting for the Seahawks because you cannot stomach the particular flavor of Americana that the Patriots embody at this time.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
That’s the thing about Arsenal, they always try to walk it in. Put in a couple of crosses from the wide area to make space for your number 9 to operate at the top of the box!
It’s also a very valid answer to a football fan. There’s two camps, Patriots fans and literally every other fanbase going for the Seahawks.
I only know because tv shows that normally air episodes on Sundays shift their schedules to earlier in the week. Also, NBA games which I actually follow are moved the day before and the ones are left start earlier in the day.
Everytime one of my frienda where’s a scarf of our local soccer club, I’m gonna tell them their cosplay looks fabulous.
The scarf is a stretch cuz the players don’t wear scarves, but I love it when my non-sports friends call my sports apparel fabulous. Wearing a jersey with a player’s name and number is inarguably cosplay. If they’re wearing too much apparel (usually the shirt and the shorts), the traditional insult is “full kit wanker”.
Is there a /r/ihatesportsball equivalent for douchey people like you who think they are above liking sports?
You lead a very sheltered life as a sports enjoyer if you think this comment belongs in an “I hate sportsball” community.
We don’t just think it. It’s 100% true and you are annoyed by us because you know it is too!
How do your farts smell? Lmao.
I personally couldn’t care less about the Superbowl or American Football, I am just not a fucking douche and I let people enjoy things even if I don’t enjoy them.
If I would let my friends simply enjoy their hobbies without making a joke or two about it, i wouldn’t be much of a friend, would I?!
I let people enjoy things even if I don’t enjoy them.
Except when that thing someone enjoys doing is some harmless ribbing.
The competitive oral fanfic is what really gets me.
