A question for non-Americans!

Well, America is two continents (or one super-continent, if you prefer), so you are excluding Canadians, Mexicans and everyone in South America.Canid117 said:
[small]Yeah, ok, I'll be quiet now[/small]
I think it's being shown on BBC America, but I guess that's not the same as being shown on a leading American network/channel, unlike the super bowl on the BBC.Canid117 said:
Out of curiosity to anyone who may know, does BBC America have commerical advertisements? In the UK the BBC only advertises it's own programs during ad breaks, and ad breaks only occur in between programs and not in the middle of them.
the way i see it, its like rugby mixed with football, the army and more time spent jest standing around.
so they play a game like rugby but have the personality of football stars, wear massive amounts of protective clothing and stop every time someone runs more than 5meters with the "ball"
OT: no im dont really watch sports

i'm sure people outside America do care about the superbowl
but the interest outside the US is so minimal. It's probably down to the exclusivity of your sports
virtually no country plays American Football outside of america
so it's unlikely anybody will watch it. it's too similar to rugby anyway (YES i know there are big differences) but because it's similar and rugby is already far more popular in britain American football has never really had a role in british sports
so i can't answer for every country. but Britain probably wont be. some will of course. but a very very small minority

The only sports I watch tend to be snooker and darts. If I got a call from a mate saying a load of people were going to get some lagers in and watch it I would probably tag along, but I imagine it will pass me by without noticing.
Nothing against the Superbowl, I just don't give a shit.

I was going to see if I could throw in the contiguous United States, given that Hawaii is way over there...but actually, is the Superbowl popular in Hawaii, given that it is way over there? One wonders what the cultural differences are, being so far removed from mainland US.Canid117 said:
No, I am not planning on watching the superbowl, no I do not care at all and was completely unaware that it was due. Mind you I would say the same about pretty much any sporting event.
They keep trying to push it every few years and it never catches on.
