"Obama Da dog is back guest blogging about her favorite day of the year, Superbowl Sunday a day when food is plentiful for all..." Ironically this blog ran this same day (02-02-12) as an opinion article in the Kaua'i Garden Island News, titled, "Super arrogance?" http://thegardenisland.com/news/opinion/mailbag/letters-for-thursday-february/article_082fea20-4d6f-11e1-ae46-0019bb2963f4.html |
How can the "Superbowl be the "World championship? There are 32 teams in the NFL. There are no foreign countries invited to compete and only 22 states have NFL franchises, 28 states do not have a franchise.
Superbowl Sunday, a day that is more popular than Christmas in America, a day when spousal abuse runs high, a day when beer and pizza are the diet, a day when a television commercial costs. 2.5 million for a 30 second spot.
The Superbowl has become so commercial in the United states, that people who do not follow football or even understand the game will watch it or go to a Superbowl party and ruin it for the true fans by asking dumb questions such as, "how many home-runs do they need to win?"
You have to either love it, or pull your hair out. Overpaid millionaire jocks playing for what they believe is a world's championship. Some may call this arrogance, others call it a world championship.
America is more like the land of the free and the home of the Superbowl. I would like be the first to wish everyone a "Merry Superbowl!"

The WORLD is a far broader place than just our one nation.
Kinda reminds me of Major League Baseball and the"World" Series -- but at least they do include a couple of teams from Canada and some players from Japan, Korean, Dominican Republic, etc., but the world as a whole is hardly represented."
Doug and everyone, May you and yours have A Merry Superbowl and may Tom Brady and Tim Tebow bless your hearts! On a serious note, I am picking the N.Y. Giants to defeat the brady bunch! 31-28
Aloha, Ironically this blog also ran this same day 02-02-12 as an opinion article in the Kaua'i Garden Island News, titled, "Super Arrogance..?"
