Super Bowl Apathy...

<p>Apathy doesn’t mean not liking something because nobody else does. It means you don’t care at all what happens.</p>

<p>^Exactly, as many people tend not to care at all about what happens in the Super Bowl because they don’t like football. It’s the new “cool” thing to not care.</p>

<p>If you don’t subscribe to the meticulous American cult of football-fanaticism, you are either:</p>

<p>A) A foreigner
B) A nerd
C) An Asian, or basically a mix of A and B</p>

<p>Folks, that’s scientific fact. I don’t care for football much myself, but the Super Bowl is THE definitive American social experience. It’s how you watch the Super Bowl and who you watch it with that makes it special.</p>

<p>Yeah, there’s no way that people don’t like football because they just… don’t like football, right?</p>

<p>I love sports but I don’t like football… </p>

<p>And I play two team sports competitively. Both involve running. One is actually called football by some nations, but I think they mostly spell it futbol. By the way, anyone watch the Chelsea v. Liverpool game on Sunday? </p>

<p>I also play lacrosse. </p>

<p>But I’m a girl. So I was never allowed to play football. which might contribute to my indifference. why would I care about something I am inherently precluded from? its just never struck me as particularly entertaining. there are so many things I don’t like about football… </p>

<p>Now basketball-- that is a great game to watch.</p>

<p>PioneerJones, I am quite proud to be option B!</p>

<p>^^ Yes I watched the Chelsea-Liverpool game. Being a chelsea fan… bleh.</p>

<p>And futbol is only stylized in the language of certain countries… I’m 100%(Thanks UK Friends) That’s it’s spelled football in the UK.</p>

<p>Haha. Obviously it’s football in English… But in Spanish speaking (and maybe other romantic languages?) it is futbol. There are a lot more Spanish speaking nations where soccer is popular than English speaking ones. </p>

<p>What do you think of Torres joining Chelsea?</p>
