I think there were a few things going on, in no particular order:
Yes, I read that "Kneeling festival" comment too and decided not to watch.
Did they kneel?
Even people in LA don’t care for the Rams.
I was at a party that happened to be showing the Super Bowl, and this is my take...
Gladys Knight did a great job with the National Anthem.
The game itself was boring.
Some of the commercials were actually funny.
Everyone wondered if Adam Levine was going to take off his pants next.
I tuned out after the Rams were moving downfield towards a go ahead score in the 4th only to have a big gain nullified by a bogus holding call on their center. At that point you knew the fix was in. To add to that I heard later that a Rams receiver was interfered with but not called which would’ve given LA a 1st and goal at the one. Of course if you’re a Saints fan it’s all poetic justice. Still, the horrible officiating is ruining these games in critical situations and effecting fan interest.
Oh, was that last night?
I enjoyed the game, have not watched a game in years. But the constant Communist Party Social justice harping was like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Just. Play. The . Game...
Adam Levine is just too old to be parading around with his shirt off like a 20 year old. He looked ridiculous.
In years past Costco, the malls, and even grocery stores all have been fairly empty around here on Superbowl Sunday. But when we were out yesterday that all of the parking lots were packed and the stores we went to were packed as well. We suspected that the ratings for the game were down.
Even our neighbors who have a Superbowl party every year, didn’t bother this year. These spoiled rich NFL players have screwed themselves big time. Could not have happened to a nicer bunch of clowns.
If you really like to watch football it was a great game. A close hard fought defensive struggle. I had no problem with it.
The real winner: People who skipped this snooze fest of terrible football.
Was forced to watch it because we had dinner at a sports themed restaurant last night. Left when we finished our dinner. As I told my wife, I hoped that both teams lost. Who won?
It’s not because it was boring people could not know it was going to be boring beforehand. It’s because a lot of us don’t want to be preached to a by bunch SJW a-holes.
I am not sick of Tom Brady.
Me either
But Freepers love to poo poo
I didn’t watch though I did pay attention to the LIVE thread here and looked at the score a few times. I have no desire to watch a bunch of folks play when they disrespect me and the president of the United States. The Patriots were ugly to President Trump two years ago when a bunch failed to go to the White House. The Rams said they would not go to the White House if invited. It’s disrespectful. I’m tired of folks accusing the president of racism when no racism exists. I’m tired of the nonsense.
I guess the people want the NFL to be the NBA. No defense but sloppy high scoring games.
I turned it on in the 3rd quarter. Watched the record-breaking punt. Watched an ad celebrating the Social Justice Warriors of the NFL. Turned it off. Didn’t find out who won until I came to work this morning.
Exactly! Offense sells tickets. Defense wins championships.
I don't care much for NFL, even before the media started making a big to-do over the few anti-white kneelers. I love me some college football on Saturdays and spend Sundays in church. But I'll watch the SP and maybe a few other NFL games throughout the year when I've got nothing else to do. And I was very entertained by last night's super bowl. It looked more like the real-man-football I grew up watching than the video game offensive fantasy type football the NFL has been lately.
