You are correct: a football game is just a football game and that is why I won’t be watching.
I see they changed the URL to “michellesmirror.” Time to rid even that reference from our memories.
Now most of my extended family is gone, yet the NFL in all its increasingly ugly permutations lives seemingly "forever." So it works both ways.

Good for you. I’ve watched only a few minutes worth of NFL this year, but I’ll watch tonight, mostly because my family will.
Liberals are driven to politicize everything, regardless of the damage it does to the relationships around them.
Conservatives have the freedom to make judgements and discern the best course of action in each individual situation.
Tell it to Aaron Rodgers.
I’d rather have a day of playing tiddley winks with the family or loved ones then waste family time watching sports, movies etc. NFL as a business and most of the players are not worth a moment of my time tuning in.
Watching sports, movies and the like as “family” groups is just feelings emotion based fleeting stuff. Yes it makes a memory but what core purpose does it truly serve? stuff your face, adrenaline highs, stress, clean up, who got drunk, etc.
I’d rather quality time, interaction with family members not just get together and all stare at tv for hours and bits of talk, then go home.
It's not that I don't like football or other sports. I do. What I don't like is all the time it takes out of the day to watch. I live and work on cattle farm. Too many chores and projects take priority when it comes to choosing what to do with my time.
So I won't be boycotting the Super Bowl on the TV today. Except for for knowing who Brady and the Patriots are because they have popped up recently in the political news I read, I don't even know who their opponent is without looking it up. I will just be busy doing other things that I have to do.
Some of us can afford to stay above the fray. Some can’t.
