Do you watch the super bowl becuase you
like it? Or because you want to be part of
what your man likes?

If I don't have to, I don't watch the
entire thing, but I do check in and see
what the score is.. If my DH were home
watching it I would have no issue with it
being on without interuption. I like
football, just not enough to watch 4 hours
straight of it.
I also like the commercials. I wonder why
we don't have really great commercials all
the time

I watch it to be part of what he is
watching.. But, if he was away I would
only watch it knowing he was so we could
talk about it. But if we where not
together as a couple.. No, I would not
watch it.. as I'm sure he would not watch
a chick flick! And he does with me.

I don't watch it at all because I'm
single, live alone, and don't have a TV...
And have no real desire to watch it.

To be fair, I have watched a sport because
my boyfriend was doing so. I don't mind, I
enjoy it. Though at the wresting
pay-per-views I ALWAYS fell asleep...
right onto his chest lol XD
You can imagine 6 nerdy adult men - some
of them "supersized" and one morbidly
obese, squished into a room about eight by
five, on one couch, one fold out chair and
one easy-chair. I was the only female, and
only there cause the boyfriend was there!
And I do actually enjoy professional
wrestling XD

I didn't get to watch it  but I
got to hear it on Sirius!! I don't mind
football, it's definitely a pass time in
which Earl is not on the computer, so of
course I take advantage of it. I can't
seem to listen to football by myself, so I
went with him to work (truck driver) and
we listened to it. We were on edge the
whole time!! We are Dallas fans so we
rooted for the team that took them out...
GO GIANTS!! last minute of the game  we were
bouncing up and down, screaming,
everything. Called his dad and basically
screamed at him! He would do the same
thing when we listened to a Dallas game.

I don't watch it. I don't even watch
football unless I join my husband for a
few minutes to rest (only TV we have is in
the bedroom and not used very much.)
I do go online and watch the commercials
tho. I thought most of them were kind of
dumb this year tho.

My husband is more of a car race,
wrestling and rugby fan. Even if he were
into football I'd be no more inclined to
sit and watch it with him than I am to sit
and watch his other interests that don't
appeal to me. I don't expect him to watch
Sex and the City with me and he doesn't
expect me to watch the races with him.
It's a mutual understanding.

What does gender have to do with liking
the Super Bowl?
It is the single worst televised event of
the entire year. It is a 4 hour
commercial. It is a time where fat cat
marketing execs pump out their "best"
advertising knowing that, not only will
they all be watched, but they will be
praised for it.
Here is an idea, why don't we skip the
super bowl next year and donate all of the
ad money to charity.

Jacob, I think that in some circles of
American culture it's a symbol of manhood.
Even if a guy isn't interested in
watching football he's pressured to do so
because if he doesn't, people might think
he's gay and we all know that being gay is
ebil in US society.

Forgot to add, I'm from the South, so my
experiences with macho chest beating may
be more of a local pattern. I have no
idea if men in northern states identify
their genitals so strongly with the game
or not.

I didn't even know which teams were going
to the Super Bowl until Saturday, and
that's only because people kept asking me
who I was rooting for.
No, I didn't watch the game. I don't care
about football. I saw a few of the
commercials online, but I didn't care much
about them either.
Come to think of it, Sunday was a bad day
all around. I didn't care about much of
anything other than the day ending.

Of course they do.
If by the game you just mean football,
yes.
My school has a yearly ritual. Before the
"big game", someone steals the mascot of
our rival, marches it through town to our
stadium(with the band, team, and faculty),
and burns it.
How obnoxious and unnecessary is that?
