I started drifting away from the NFL a years ago. The quality of play and the boring repetition of those plays. The protests have accelerated my drift to the point that I only watch my local teams and nothing else. The rest of them I really don’t care enough to be bothered. The politicizing of the NFL through the rancid advertisements and the unwholesome half-time displays are a big turn off.

Sports players as political figures is laughable. Most could not find Russia on a map. Their actions are just posturing.

The new BUD commercial will turn off the NFL fan base. Monday mornings storyline.

Funny how the Times is acting like a presidential interview in the pre-game is a new development. As for the Bud ad, people are reading into it what they want to see, the immigrant part is like 15 seconds. Meanwhile the Pats have a history of exciting last play Super Bowls, I’m for it.

So - they think they lost their audience to politics? So they are bringing politics into the Super Bowl?? I hope they didn’t pay their consultants a lot for this ‘information.’ I hate the NFL for THEIR politics: Kapernick? Good grief! and nobody said a thing! I am not going to watch football and have anti-American junk crammed down my throat. And now the Super Bowl will be infused with politics? Oh, puleez. Think I’ll have to not watch.

[Da Coyote]

Not watching it this time.

Not ever in the future.

The NFL is a shining example of what is wrong with the country. F em.

What are the odds Lady Gaga does something stupid that pi$$es off at least 1/2 of America and 3/4 all football fans?

I say 90%

[Qiviut]

Not watching .... nothing that interests me. Tired of the Pats ...... can't stand Lady Gaga ..... the ads (Bud) - no thanks. We'll have beer (Yuengling), chips, White Trash Dip & watch something else.

The owner, coach and star player of one team, the highly successful New England Patriots, are friends of the president’s.

I’m going to be watching this game for the first time in many years.

Go Patriots!

[wardaddy]

I hope Brady wins but we ain’t watching

LSU and Bama will be back soon enough as well as my high school son who will play free safety for a top tier Tennessee 5A team near Franklin next season after middle school this year

It’s his own coach moving up which is just pure luck

Now that I will admit is when it gets exciting

Man when they throw long on him I’m like please be on your receiver ...it takes your breath

It’s a blast though

NFL: Negros, Felons, and Liberals. No one else welcome.

In the past no one planned group activities, even children’s activities on Super Bowl Sunday. I notice this year many things are on Super Bowl Sunday and few even said anything when the date was picked.

I am having a family Super Bowl party, but we are not watching the game. We are going to have all the yummy food and going to visit and get some chores done that need doing.
