A question for non-Americans!

Honestly I'm not even sure how to watch that in England, I doubt my meagre 4 channels will show it. If so then maybe, in the background or something.

 

[A Sense Of Decorum]

To be honest, no.
I find sport an extremely dull thing to watch or partake in.
But that's probably just me being a lazy fatass, and generally unsociable.

 

[Detective Prince]

I currently am watching the pre-game stuff. It's just a reason for me to binge eat and watch sport. (I don't do either usually) I find American Football so much more tolerable than a lot of sports and I'm not sure why. XD

 

[Canid117]

no. american football is rugby for pussies.

Did you completely skip over the "Please be polite" sentence in the OP?

Do most Americans care about the world championship in soccer? Or the Eurovision Song Contest? :b

So to answer your question: nope, I don't.

The Soccer world Cup actually has gotten a lot of attention here in recent years. The last two cups got huge media attention. As for a signing contest? No we do do not watch that.

Honestly I'm not even sure how to watch that in England, I doubt my meagre 4 channels will show it. If so then maybe, in the background or something.

The link in the OP contains a list of channels it is playing on including a BBC channel.

If Grifball ever creates a Superbowl like event, I'll watch that, thanks.

 

[Devil's Due]

Most non-American's don't really care, such as most American's don't care about other world's sports. And I myself will not be watching this year's Super Bowl because of the Steelers bullcrap win against the New York Jets, so they don't have my time nor interest to watch their little show.

 

[Uncreation]

What is the superbowl?

Did you completely skip over the "Please be polite" sentence in the OP?

yes, my apologies.
(it's still true though.)

yes, my apologies.

Again with the lack of politeness.

I'm sure you would be perfectly willing to tell a professional football player to his face that he is a pussy.

 

[Berethond]

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!".

Yeah, they are pushing the Six Nations Rugby thinamajig here.

 

[MGlBlaze]

No, but I don't care much about sports full-stop. The only one I'm actually interested in is Fencing, and I'm not watching; I'm doing.

what about my apology strikes you as impolite?

in response to your question.
1: in comparison to a rugby player (does not wear body armour much beyond a lightweight gumshield, does not have to stop for a breather after every 10 seconds of play, and does not simply have his game strategy screamed at him by a coach) yes.
2: I can run like hell when i have too, so ... do you have any suggestions as to where i could find a professional american football player

 

[Hippobatman]

It's airing in Norway, and I'm watching the pre-show right now.

I just want to see what all the fuzz is about. And I like the cheese hats, so go Packers, I guess.

 

[ZeroAE]

Im gonna try watching it. My dad will try to explain how its played. Im not very interesed, I dont like sports in general.

 

[KwaggaDan]

I'm listening to it on the NFL Audiopass, because I don't have Satellite TV. I'd love to watch it though, after playing Madden I've gotten hooked on the sport.

Also, the only real rugby is Super rugby. Go Bulls...

 

[fatmrbunko]

yeh as an englishman id have to say with real football and rugby theres no room for american football especially seeing as it is one of very few sports only professionally played in 1 country and besides its very slow paced so i dont know why Americans like it so much (no offense to anyone who enjoys it)

 

[Taluien]

Well, I will use the chance that the the german ARD has given me: I will watch it. Don't know how long I will last, its 11 minutes past midnight at the moment, but I would hvae missed it hadn't I watched the channel when it turned to SuperBowl.

 

[PureChaos]

no i will not, don't care in the slightest. will probably catch some of the 6 Nations though

 

[Layzor]

I watched (went to a bar and got drunk) it the past 2 years but will not be watching it this year. I would never be able to actually sit and watch it though, there's way too much stopping and starting and too many advert breaks.
