Any other het male DUers not watching/giving a damn about the Superbowl?

[CanuckAmok]

Or am I the only one?

on edit: here's an indicator of my level of interest: I don't even know who's playing.

Haven't watched TV in about three months, except for the Simpsons and CBC's "The Newsroom".

1. My husband could care less about sports

in fact I watch more sports than he does cause I
follow Baseball .

We are a football free family :D

[cheezus]

5. how much less could he care

if he can care less, he obviously cares to a certain extent

[proud patriot]

31. LOL

okay then he doesn't give a rats ass about sports

[stopbush]

2. Yep, not watching. I'm taking the kids to the park.

IMO, the Super Bowl is a microcosm of everything that's wrong with America.

Think about it...

[ben_thayer]

3. Oh...

Is that today?

:boring:

[lcordero]

4. I prefer not to watch any sports

For the reason that if less people watch, less advertising dollars will be given to them.

6. Is that a cooking show?

[KissMyAsscroft]

7. Not watching, dont care....

I always feel like an alien when there is a major sporting event because I could give a rats ass....overpaid clowns.

Rather watch college sports...

[Kellanved]

9. No, you're not the only one

Of course being European might disqualify me from participating in a boycott thread (*cough* CET *cough* Soccer *cough*).

PS: Yes, the Super bowl is shown live on TV here.

12. yipes--airing at midnight?!

Will anyone you know personally in your town/city stay up to watch?

[Kellanved]

19. yep

It's pretty popular; lot's of bars have Superbowl parties.


Several of my friends at the universtity will watch it; some guys will be really tired tomorrow.

10. My Consuming Interest In The Superbowl

... does not exist.

I've never paid attention to football. Hockey and Baseball can get my attention for about an hour per season. Football, zero.

I just have no respect for the sport. It's the real-life version of Rollerball -- only more sinister.

[TheMightyFavog]

Feh.

If the Packers aren't in it I'm not interested.

[earthside]

11. Better Things to Do

I have better things to do that watch the idle rich play an over-hyped game on network television.

My suggestion to everyone is go to www.earthside.com and read the articles on ABRUPT CLIMATE CHANGE. This is serious stuff ... and it actually may be happening now.

If a global warming induced mini ice age gets underway, there may not be anymore 'Super Bowls' to be talking about.

[Dogmudgeon]

16. MIGHT be happening now?

Woods Hole announced this year that the North Atlantic branch(es) of the thermohaline circulation "conveyer belt" are breaking down. It started this past summer.

Be sure to buy lots of thermal undies when they go on sale this April. You may need them around October :)

So f**k football.

13. I watch no professional sports

I am a very active and athletic person, and I'd rather spend two hours playing football with my son than watching other people play while my son plays his Nintendo.

Of course, this Sunday I'm stuck here at work and can't watch or play :(

[fleetus]

14. Pro Sports is annoying because:

- Outlet for corporate welfare. (how many of you have fancy new stadiums in your city funded by public money that you have to pay to get in to?)

- Distraction for public. (why are we told anybody can be a good armchair coach, but we have to trust "experts" when it comes to politics)

- Any more reasons? I know they are out there!

Yeah, CanuckAmok, you're not alone. The only downside I find in my lack of interest/knowledge on football is that it leaves me out of 30% of male-male conversations. :(

[flamingyouth]

15. My husband doesn't even know who's playing

Nor does he care. I am a bigger sports fan than he is, and that's really saying a lot. :evilgrin:

[KG]

17. elitist snobs!

'we' will never get football watching white guys to vote dem if you elists snobs boycott the super bowl!

no wonder 'they' think dems are america-hating saddam-sympathizing socialist commie pinkos!

:eyes:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

18. ME!!!

I don't drink anymore, and it just ain't the same when yer' not getting lobotomized with a platter of Thermonuclear Buffalo Wings the size of Rhode Island in front of you.

[arcane1]

21. I don't give one rat's ass about the Super bowl

I'm not entirely sure who is even playing...

however, I do dig parties, so I'll be attending a nice bowl party this afternoon :party:

fortunately, I won't be the only non-fan present :)

[asthmaticeog]

22. During the Super Bowl

I'll be looking for a laundromat without a television set.

[Webster Green]

23. Love football.....not watching.....

The decision to boycott is so much easier since the Niners are nowhere to be found.

[Edge]

24. I'm not watching...

I hate CBS. I've been boycotting them since they pulled that Reagan movie off CBS.

Besides...I have a take home test I have to work on...and it's due tomorrow morning.

I'm gonna catch CNN at halftime, though, since they're going to play that MoveOn.org commercial!

[HEyHEY]

25. No, I may turn it on later if I'm REALLY bored

But overall, I can't stand boring American football.

[TrogL]

26. What's the Superbowl?

[bikebloke]

27. Nope.

I don't follow bowling.

[mitchum]

28. I don't even know who's playing

swear to God

[Mobius]

29. ME

30. I'm a het male who likes sports, and I'm not an anti-sports

snob. But I will not be watching the Super Bowl.

I do like football (although college more than pro), but there's just so much hype (including hours of pregame TV fluff, an overdone half-time show, expensive commercials, Super Bowl parties) surrounding one game that I can't stand to watch it.

I began selectively watching (or not watching) the Super Bowl in 1991, the year they started propagandizing it with all the pro-military stuff (it was during Gulf War I), but if a particular matchup or team interests me in any given year, I might watch.

I won't this year because I'm sure they'll be propagandizing again, what with Gulf War II going on, and I'm boycotting CBS for its political bias.

I'm going to go see a movie.

[45th Med]

32. I'm watching Techno Games on PBS instead. nt

[JanMichael]

33. Don't care one iota. However it's on in the background. Jingoism?

Yep...It's still amazing to me that the national anthem has no effect on me anymore. Thank you pResident Bush.

Also the performances sucked ass.

[no name no slogan]

34. I'm with you-- most american sports blow chunks

All I know is that the Patriots and somebody else are playing.

Give me All-Star Survivor any day!

Besides that, it's snowing to beat hell in Minnesota today, and I've got another five inches to remove from the sidewalk. BooYah!

[ixion]

35. Who gives a hoot about the SuperBowl (or prof. athletics)

Not me! :-)
