Still find it weird that they called the show “football” when it’s not about football. Imagine Haikyu!! being called Tennis!!.

I just wish they would get to the series finale sometime soon.

This one looks like a long runner. It feels a bit repetitive though

Give it another 15,000 years, it’ll get more interesting

The cast shifts as often as a soap opera, it’s how they keep it fresh.
jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 hours ago
The plot is always the same. Except it does change ever so slightly every year, making it even more difficult to follow for people who don’t normally watch.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
I came across something about it this morning, and thought, ‘Oh, is that today?’ Then I forgot about it again until this post.
I’ve never cared about sportsball, but I’ve learned enough about football to follow a game. I couldn’t avoid it. Same for other sports, like baseball, golf, tennis, and even bowling.
I’m old and mostly alone now, I feel no desire to pretend to be interested anymore. Y’all have fun.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
I never cared for it, but it felt like such an event that I’ve been to a lot of superb parties over the years. But now I barely knew it was happening.
Same goes for the Olympics. I remember watching it for hours and hours back in the day, but I didn’t even know it was happening until I heard Vance got booed.
Culture is shattering.

remember back when michael jackson would drop a music video after the superbowl? those were the days

If we’re doing bread and circuses in a colosseum, at least make it interesting and turn some wild animals loose or something. Even the Romans did better than a bunch of sweaty guys tossing around a pig hide in between ads.

Where is /c/ihatesportsball when you need it, some pompous ass energy in this thread
ickplant@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Meh, I’d like sportsball better if they didn’t spend my taxpayer funds on stadium construction.
CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
Or at least if we retained ownership of the stadium afterwards. I’d be a lot less annoyed if we were charging rent to the teams who use them.
Velypso@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
Lol, no you wouldnt.
Youd still find a way to be in the out group because it makes you feel special
kameecoding@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
Yes that is something that’s not right and you are entirely justified in being upset about it.
However it’s kind of unrelated as here you are being kind of a douchenozzle and shitting on people for liking different things than what you like. Which is kind of ironic give how much supposedly a lemming should be different from others and liking other things, like Linux over “Normie” windows.

Best time to go grocery shopping, stores are empty
CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
I have a bunch of friends that head to an amusement park for the Super Bowl every year because there are no lines at all.
sploder@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Also a great day to fly. Last year I flew home on a flight with 20 people (including staff) Super Bowl night. I felt like a billionaire lmfao

Just got back from CVS. Traffic is light and the store was empty
Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 6 hours ago
Maybe after it starts. The grocery was a zoo this morning with people getting ready for it.
francois@sh.itjust.works 3 hours ago
I can’t see the point of going to an empty store, parks are way better for a stroll
Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 hours ago
No crowds whatsoever in the way of what you need, little to no lines to wait in.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
OH! This is why it was busier than usual this morning. I wondered why. I usually shop Sunday morning because people are in church, and the grocery store is empty.

My folks’ fav characters got killed off a few episodes ago but for some reason everyone is still hyped for the finale
danc4498@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
They took that one guy out with an ankle injury. Shoddy writing IMO.
BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
remember that time they couldnt think of an opponent for the NFC for 4 years in a row so they just had the bills there to lose them all? THAT was shoddy writing

New England Hawks vs Sea Patriots.

I am from Seattle and I didn’t even know the Seahawks made it to ‘the big game’ until literally yesterday.
Sportsball!
Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 hours ago
I used to watch a lot of football. It would consume so much of my time. I’m not sure if it’s getting older, having kids, manufactured drama, folks tying their identity to something they have no control over, or the ‘kneeling’ bullshit but it was kind of eye opening when a buddy of mine called me today to ask who I was rooting for and I genuinely had no idea what he was talking about. I don’t think he believed my when I told him I didn’t know what he was talking about. I haven’t seen a single game all year and I don’t think I’ve missed anything. Happy that folks find enjoyment in it but I just don’t think it’s my bag anymore.
Serinus@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
I was slightly interested in getting into it. Youtube had some 15 minute sample of Sunday Ticket. So I figured I’d catch the end of the Bears game. Why not.
13 of the 15 minutes were ads and the demo ran out. Iirc it was exorbitantly priced to continue, and you wouldn’t get everything.
scytale@piefed.zip 8 hours ago
I only know because tv shows that normally air episodes on Sundays shift their schedules to earlier in the week. Also, NBA games which I actually follow are moved the day before and the ones are left start earlier in the day.
CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
If, for whatever reason, you are called upon to bluff your way through a conversation about the Super Bowl, you can say that you’re rooting for the Seahawks because you cannot stomach the particular flavor of Americana that the Patriots embody at this time.
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 7 hours ago
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 7 hours ago
It’s also a very valid answer to a football fan. There’s two camps, Patriots fans and literally every other fanbase going for the Seahawks.

Is anyone watching the Super Bowl this year? The Olympics are going on!

People are so sad and edgy on this site.
Community, fun, drinks, going out of the house and doing something. That sounds awful.
timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 54 minutes ago
Yeah. Like the post is fine but people really lay on in the comments and have all the condescending energy of any other asshole ripping on someone’s hobby.

Everytime one of my frienda where’s a scarf of our local soccer club, I’m gonna tell them their cosplay looks fabulous.
CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
The scarf is a stretch cuz the players don’t wear scarves, but I love it when my non-sports friends call my sports apparel fabulous. Wearing a jersey with a player’s name and number is inarguably cosplay. If they’re wearing too much apparel (usually the shirt and the shorts), the traditional insult is “full kit wanker”.
kameecoding@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Is there a /r/ihatesportsball equivalent for douchey people like you who think they are above liking sports?
CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
You lead a very sheltered life as a sports enjoyer if you think this comment belongs in an “I hate sports all” community.

Still adapting to EST. It’s inhumane and outrageous this shit goes down at 630pm every year. How do people work on Monday??

You see how much money is being made on sports betting…. Hmmm. I wonder if that will have an effect on the outcome?
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 6 hours ago
Why should it. Betting is a licence to print money. It’s like owning a casino.
totesmygoat@piefed.ca 2 hours ago
And the house never loses. What is better than making even more. Not like it has any actual consequences. What’s a Trump pardon worth nowadays?
