Sports/entertainment is downstream from survival.

4K makes the empty stadium and cardboard people look bad. If they wanted it in 4K, it would be.

Whether it’s 4K or not won’t have any impact on how much I enjoy watching the game. If you know what I mean.

The WHAT Bowl? I’ll be taking a knee or 2 to God on that day. No time for false prophets.

HD so viewers can more clearly see wealthy felons kneeling during the National Anthem? Nah, I’m good.

I was watching a YouTube Superbowl from the 1970s, hard to believe had bad the picture was back then.

Hope it is a good Super Bowl, certainly two great quarterbacks, should be a fun finish. I like Mahomes but would never bet against Brady.

The last Super Bowl I watched was Cincinnati-SF part 2. What was that, 30 years ago? When ads and superfluous pandering became the primary interests to many, I found other interests.

I can just imagine the ads this year especially if regular TV is any indication.

I've watched every Super Bowl since SBIII, when the Jets stunned the Colts.

I have not watched a minute of live NFL football in my home this season, and will not be watching the Super Bowl.

I don’t watch anything deliberately anti-American.

... a delay in deployment of the technology, caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

This could mean a few things:

1.) the factory in Korea/Taiwan/China/certainly not America that was supposed to build the cameras or computer processing equipment for broadcast either couldn't build the cameras or computer processing equipment, or it couldn't get the stuff shipped across the pacific in time. Kind of unlikely, but possible

2.) Someone plain old forgot to set up the logistics for putting the technology in place for the game. Doesn't make sense for this scale of operation. The Superbowl doesn't "sneak up on you", it's the same time each year and the most prominent single spectator sports event in America.

3.) Someone did the math and realized that having a massive 4K broadcast audience alongside all the other bandwidth hogging devices that people have become accustomed to using during the pandemic means there's going to be a glitchy broadcast and a PR nightmare for a niche technology that could cause it to collapse just like 3D did last decade. Possible, but I didn't do the math.

4.)CBS sports doesn't want to pay the contractor who can run all the cables in the stadium because they are bleeding money and have to cut costs somewhere. They know 4K is a niche feature at this point and anyone who is paying to watch the superbowl in 4K is still going to watch it in regular old 1080p. Much more likely in my opinion.

At this point the NFL has yet to sell all the commercial slots.

Superbowl or SuperDUD?

I aint watching and haven’t been for years.

You mean we can’t watch the Budweiser commercials in 4K?

Oh, wait...
