A question for non-Americans!

[JdaS]

A lot of people in Finland watch it. They stay up from 3am to 6am or whatever because of it. Doesn't interest me personally though, so I don't watch it.

 

[MarviG]

I'm probably not gonna watch it. But a huge majority of my friends are going to, even if it means they wont get any sleep tonight

Welcome to the Escapist!

Thanks ! ;-)

In Canada a lot of my friends seemed to watch the score but not the game. Personally I'm not a football fan, especially not an American football fan. But to each his own.

 

[Pilkingtube]

I didn't know it even aired in the UK 0_o

Regardless, I don't really enjoy american football, so no I won't be watching

 

[hecticpicnic]

I like playing sport ,don't like watching it (i watch it on occasion to amuse my friends)
But I don't think anyone in ireland has ever seen of American football,if so its probably 'cause of american TV shows(there everywhere we got to get to there spawn point and destroy it.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Superball is about baseball, right? I really have no idea... I seldom watch sports on TV, and never American sports.

Also, Inglip tells me to complete the Younsi trial. ("Yes, master, it will be done.")

Watched it, enjoyed it, but then I'm relatively open-minded to sports from other countries. It helps that I'm not impressed by fat man hugging each other to the ground and shoving their fingers up each others arseholes I suspect, as if I did enjoy rugby I think they would be too similar for me to enjoy. Handegg was fun last night.

*Yawn*

American football is so boring.

The BBC seem to be pushing the SB for some reason - I myself prefer rugby (go go six nations!).

I remember the commentators said hello to the American viewers midway through the Scotland-France rugby match (cheekily adding they were "probably perplexed by the lack of shoulder pads"). Perhaps there's some deal to show rugby in America and the super bowl here.

I won't be watching though, I'm not interested in sports. Only watched the Scotland game as it's the national team, and a friend on Xbox was shouting "OMG you failures!".

I heard that.

In the United States, some of the premium television packages include BBC America. That's where I watched it.

Well I did watch it. Although, being that I had to get up at 7, I regretted it. To be honest once I started to understand it I began to enjoy it a litte. I still don't think its very entertaining though because for me the games stops too much. The programme was on for 5 hours and the game only goes on for 60 minutes >.<

The Super Bowl is much much longer than a regular game. They show people who sing God Bless America and our national anthem, and the halftime show, and the trophy ceremony and all that. Normally, the program starts a few minutes before game time and ends just a few seconds after, and you don't see any of that other stuff. Usually clocks in at about half as much time.

 

[Agrael]

Don't care about American Football ...

 

[MetalMonkey74]

Whats the superbowl?

 

[Sennz0r]

I'm really not interested. Contact sports aren't my thing and I'd rather play sports than watch them. The only exception is the FIFA World cup, and even then I only watch when The Netherlands play.

 

[Fragged_Templar]

Nope, I really couldn't care any less... then again unless its the Olympics I don't really follow any sporting events.

 

[Circusfreak]

watching sport is the most boring fucking thing ever

 

[Tarranium]

I dont think they even send super bowl outside ofUS and coulcnt care less

 

[Ponce Master-General]

Not really. Doesn't interest me at all. The only good thing about the Super Bowl is that awesome joke in Zombieland. You know the one.

 

[Rafael Dera]

of course not.

 

[Ekit]

No, I don't even know which sport it is. Is it baseball or football?
