Who would you like to see performing at the Super Bowl half-time show? I haven't watched the half-time show in about two decades.

Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The stadium has a seating capacity of around 83,000. The average ticket price is $6645.
83000 X $6645 = $551,535,000.00

Yep, over a half billion dollars!
...Don't forget to subtract the million$ they pay the players/teams. :rolleyes:
 
I'm still curious why Americans support the NFL. Players kneel instead of standing for OUR national anthem. They kneel to support blm. They kneel for political reasons. I do not watch any NFL productions, games, or any part of that. Way back reading 1984, things were pretty much laid out for so called "professional" distractions. I have far too many important things to do than watch a pack of hood-rats chase a ball back and forth. My dog does a better job. If I want to watch an actual football game I go to a local high school or college game that won't waste money and supports our community. I've never understood and I'm sure I never will. I have people complain at work about things the NFL promotes and does yet they watch the game, pay for tickets, and attend the games. Again, I just don't understand.
 
I watch the Super Bowls to see what the best team looks like. The adds are a bonus. Half time is a no go for me.

If the Eagles with PA will move in to a tie for most super bowls.

...I confess, I only watch the ads. :(
If the Saints aren't playing, I don't give a rip about either team. :rolleyes:
Remember the historic Superbowl commercials? 😁

(sorry, it's 8 minutes long :()

I agree Their political antics have made me stop watching, and the more it leans left the more interest I lose. I used to really enjoy it, but not anymore. The money they make is obscene, and the only jobs their skills are suited for are the Service or Law Enforcement. The money issue really bothers me, but it is typical liberal hypocrisy. Don't stand there and tell me how bad this country is when in one game you make ten times more than a Cop makes in a year.

I wish the owners would take more of a stand. If you want to protest on your own time that is your God given right. When you are on the field wearing my uniform, there will not be any protests. My team. My rules. Follow them or you are gone.

Sorry. I should have put this in the rant for the day. I'm back now.
 
What ever happened to the cheer leaders at half time? Never mind, I still wouldn't waste my time watching any sporting event.
I have no desire to spend 3.5 hours watching black millionaire and white millionaires chase each other around on a grass field, hugging, high-fiving and patting each other on the butt.
 
How about when a player scores and stands in the end zone pointing the ball and shooting at other players falling down while there is "End Racism" stenciled in the end zone border...!!!

Who needs to be reminded with every-time the end zone is seen...?!

A benefit of being a Steelers fan is they never did any of that stupid protesting stuff. Never.

I will be watching the game because I promised my step father I would watch it with him (meaning I'll be translating what's happening for him). He can't see well & has a 30 second memory so I'll have to tell him who's playing at least 10 times during the game. I stopped watching football many, many years ago because for 9 of my 20 I was stationed overseas & you couldn't watch it. And 10 or more years ago was the last time I watched a TV show of any kind on a TV.

As for the political stuff, while I certainly don't agree with that extra "stuff". I do believe that people have that right regardless of how I look at it.

What? You mean you don't watch the America's Cup yacht races? Or the World Series of Tiddlywinks? Man that's exciting stuff. Much better than watching multi millionaires throw a little ball around.
 
The only pure football games, other than high school or below, are the ones between the US military academies.
All other games, including college ball, are based on money and the pursuit thereof.
Aw, c'mon now, you think the Superbowl is all about the money?!
Oh, Shirley not!

...Think about how many hundreds of million$ are spent on just the commercials! :oops:

While I basically agree with you, I don't believe you have the right to show your political inclinations while you are at work. What you do on your own time is absolutely your right. When you are at work, which is where football players are when they are playing the game, there is no place for your political view.
 
I’m a Chiefs fan so I am loving the run we are on. I was a fan too when we sucked and couldn’t win in the playoffs. I was a fan when we went through other coaches and couldn’t make the playoffs.

As for the political stuff, I’m not a fan. The guy who got the most attention for kneeling during the national anthem is out of the game. Many players were caught doing the Trump dance this year. I do believe the “end racism” has been taken off the field for the SB though…

It’s like Disney, if they push too far, the consumer can ignore and watch them lose money
 
The only REAL football is what everyone in the rest of the world watchs. No sissy pads or helmets. No time outs whenever some pantywaste breaks a nail. I watched real football some when I worked overseas. But only in a pub.
