Do you care about the SuperBowl?

I seriously couldn't care less... and I am American...


Edit: I suppose this pole is a bit bias, as those who care aren't surfing the forums, and are instead sitting on their asses with bottles of beer in front of the television.

It's on at my house, but no one's really paying attention. It's not an important part of my culture.

If you phrased your poll answers a little better, I might have answered yes...but since I do not live for the SuperBowl, I guess my real answer would be no I don't really care about it.

you should have a "Not major part, but enjoy it" option.

Nothing worse then watching a bunch of overpaid, barbarians, slamming into each other, chasing a ball, for hours on end.

people are willing to pay crazy money to watch these guy try and hurt each other. Yet health care is over priced and shit. Education is crap, and people are starving to death on our streets.
But paying 100's$ for a ticket, is more important it seems, then paying a little extra so society can stop some of the easily solved social issues.
And what about the ridiculous salaries these guys get. Wow imagine if we paid teachers and health workers that same kind of money. At least these people do a real service to the community, but for some reason a moron who can take or give a hit , and catch a piece of leather is more iimportant, then our education and health systems.

Talk about upside down priority's. :roll:

You know what's really ridiculous, the fact that you can watch them for free at home, and have a better view!

Why isn't there an in between option?

"Yes, I care because it's an interesting competition to watch, and it's always fun to see the underdog win. I recognize that it's just a sport but that doesnt stop me from enjoying it."
