Fans of American Football: Are you gonna Watch this Super Bowl? (lemmy.yachts)

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

If there were some chance of something interesting happening.. in the exta curriculars.. maybe.

I'll at least be scanning the streams.

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Yeah because it’s a day for beer, cooking, and entertainment. I don’t care much for the teams playing though.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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.

The halftime show at least.

[–] turkalino@lemmy.yachts 3 points 3 months ago

I assure you the kitty halftime show of the puppy bowl will be better

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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.

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.

Nope. Honestly fuck the NFL.

[–] CMLVI@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (5 children)

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.

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.

Def. gonna watch !superbowl@lemmy.world

[–] tal@lemmy.today 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

No superb owls to be seen on those at all, really

[–] tal@lemmy.today 4 points 3 months ago

Maybe someone will make nocturnal_avians, a la /r/trees and /r/marijuana_enthusiasts or /r/worldnews and /r/anime_titties.
