What's the big deal with the superbowl? For that matter, what's the big deal with sports in general?

Your right what is the big deal and why do we pay these guys such extravagant amounts of money. they don't even help the nation with any kind of policy or affect the world when they make any kind of decision.  I think we should boycott professional sports.  At least strike so the owners start to lower prices on tickets and concession stand crap.  I like sports to play, exercise and have a fun way of competition but it's got way out of hand when colleges focus more on the athletics then they do the education now adays.

I play sports and like sports in general so I find it to be a fun extra outlet for competition. \n\nThere are those that don't like it at all and it is not for everyone.\n\nLike some things, you should try it to see if you like it and not just base your decision totally off of the opinions of others.

I agree that the super bowl rarely reaches expectations,usually winds up as a boring game and the outcome is decided very early but it does bring revenue to the city where it's played,it gives fans something to look forward to and it keeps family members together at least for that day,but to blame the game itself for the wrongs of some players is not right.

Tell me when and where!!!!!  American football is the most ridiculous sport I´ve ever seen!!  I think that the people who think that soccer (football for everyone outside the US) is boring have never sat through an entire World Cup match.  I don´t know how anyone could think it´s boring!\n\nAmen, brother!

Sports entertainment is different from sports.

Well, as far as I am concerned, Football is still a Sport.\n\nBut the question you are really asking here is: Is the modern overpaid professional Sport (of all kinds, and not just Football) still Sport? \nHere I tend to agree with you. The millions and billions that are pumped into the modern mass media sporting events have ruined the spirit of true sportsmanship and turned the whole scene into nothing more than a branch of show business.\n\nNevertheless there are plenty of decent people left who play their Sport every week as amateurs without getting a single penny for it. That includes many good and decent footballers.

The Super Bowl, by far.  It's the ultimate championship game for American Football.  The All-Star game for the NBA is stellar, no doubt, but it's in the middle of the season and the game itself doesn't count for beans, anyway.  It's meaningless.  Now, if you were to compare the NBA Finals with the Super Bowl... THEN you'd have a tough question.

football is my fav sport, just because of the atmosphere in the ground when you go and watch. but its dissapointing when you got the odd idiot that ruins it for everyone else

A mans game? Is that so? I know it is difficult picturing women cheering on a team during the Super Bowl and things but its not totally impossible. Nothing about the game? Are you kidding me? I play football! It might have to do with sexist remarks like this.

Football Rocks, as long as the Broncos are playing.\n\nBaseball is ultra-boring.  Gee..now that baseball season is on, and the NCAA tourney is over I'm going to go through sports withdrawal.

Yeah, there's a point in football. Football is , in my opinion, America's greatest past time.  There's more pride in football than any other sport,especially if their favorite team is located in their home state.Some People think football is meaningless and barbaric. To those people that detest against football,pick up ya remote and enjoy watchin Lifetime...ya wuss.

It's mostly a fan thing.  Players don't get too caught up in the hate crap.  Yes, some players have issues with others but that's all over the league.  It has a lot to do with the division and how competitive it has been over the years.  I think it may have started years ago when some bright jerk and one of the networks started calling the Cowboys, "America's Team".  Things went down hill after that!!

It plays small role.  I wouldn't even go that far.\n\nSports turn attention from the serious matters.\n\nLike the first 10 mins of the news everynight during the olympics was just that, olympics.  \n\nLike nothing more important was going on.\n\nSorry man, I think if all the sports people took that energy to fixing shit, then they could play sports the rest of their lives when they are done.\n\nIf people took the time to know their politician's stats instead of some sports icon's, the world would be a better place, thats all.\nFucking idiots.

Football to me is a great sport because as a football fan you have this emotion for your team that you really can't get anywhere else. When they lose your whole week is off and when they win you know you just may have the best week. Football also has a lot contact and action the hits. The way they line up on the line of scrimmage. you cant get this kind of feeling from any other sport. I know my answer may not be the best but it is definitely how i feel about football.
