Who are you rooting for, Patriots or Seahawks?

Edit: I'm a Spaniard and I've always lived in Spain, but I love football (the American kind). I used to play it when I was young. I'm rooting for Seattle.

Alain De Vos the superbowl is worth it mainly for the commercials. According to an old Wall Street Journal article, there's about 11 minutes of action during the game. A Quarz article mentioning the figure. https://qz.com/150577/an-average-nfl-game-more-than-100-commercials-and-just-11-minutes-of-play.

As for who I'm rooting for. Kraft is a piece of garbage and I'm glad he didn't get into the Hall of Fame this year. I'm sure most people have already forgotten how he was caught getting a sexual massage--of course, he's a rich white man so despite a lot of Oh how awful, nothing happened. The women involved were fined thousands, put on probation, etc. If anyone is curious

Robert Kraft Had His Charges Dropped After Allegedly Getting a Hand Job In a Massage Parlor. The Women Didn't

Charges were dropped against New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft in solicitation case. The same can't be said for the women involved.

I'm not calling garbage because he paid women for sex--it's because I'm sure he did nothing to help them afterwards.
 
It's weird that with all the cheating and the boorish behavior that people still like the Patriots. They're up there with the Yankees and Cowboys as a team that nobody likes.

That whole scenario was a massive boondogle from the start. It was fun though to see them win while they were there, but it was obvious from the beginning the team was only there for the quick cash given to them by the state. Looks like it's Kansas' turn to learn from Missouri's mistake. And Clark Hunt is really getting on my bad list hopping the border just because Kansas will foolishly pour tons of cash on them.

At least the Royals are staying on the Missouri side. Pitchers and catchers report next week!
 
I still remember my first and last football game I saw:
Two bunches of heavily armored guys took some incomprehensibel positions against each other on a field, and just cowered there. After a while one referee blew a whistle, made some gesture, and dropped a colored handkerchief on the lawn. All the armored guys got up and left the field. Then all players, referees and trainers stood in groups together besides the field, and talked to each other. After a while again two groups of armored players entered the field again, ducking like some buffalo herd in defense again. Then another whistle was blown, and all guys got up left the field again.
When finally - and seldom - was some action at all, all I saw was bunch of guys crashing into each other, until a whistle was blown again. And somebody explained over the speakers, a hand touched some knee in a unduly way. And I thought:"Knee? What knee? All I saw was a heap of guys jumping on each other."
While at the field nothing really happend at the same a friend of mine was feverlishy explaining me the rules, which to me felt like german tax legislation, so I surrender trying to understand after three minutes, convinced nobody in the whole world could knew and respect them all. Which to me was clearly the reason, why so many referees and discussisons are needed. And I thought by myself:"Why they don't just let it do by some laywers instead?" - You know, the US american way: Great justice by convincing the jury with true emotions causing lots or fair righteousnes in court - in movies, and TV (where I always ask myself, when I see this, what real life lack they need to compensate with those shows.)
If there haven't been so much booze it had been as pointless and boring as waiting for a train two hours late.

And this all reaches its peak in the superbowl, where it's a competion to litter a stadium with even more garbage than the year before, and is all about to become outrages about a superstar singing the national anthem showing too much sex.
And then I thought:"No! While we already drown in pointless sports crap instead of discussing all the urgent problems we urgently need to solve now they import that boring crap also to Europe!" 😩

Nah. I don't watch sports at all. I either do some myself, or not.
But I don't watch it.
 
As for the halftime show, there's a story behind that. In Living Color, one year, put on an episode to go on during the halftime show, which at the time was a marching band and other less interesting stuff. They had a timer on screen so viewers would know when to switch back to the superbowl. After that year, whichever network had the superbowl decided to never be upstaged like that again---back when ratings mattered a lot more than they do now, In Living Color's show got a ton of viewers. So, the superbowl folks decided to make their halftime show one that viewers wouldn't miss.
 
When it comes to football/soccer/FIFA or whatever we call it -- I root for: Aaaaaarrgggeennttiinnaaaa !

They are famous for winning a game against England with the "La mano de Dios!" (Translated: "The hand of God!") - LINK: Wikipedia - Hand of God -- by Diego Maradona.

Ahora sí puedo contar lo que en aquel momento no podía, lo que en aquel momento definí como «La mano de Dios»... ¿Qué mano de Dios? ¡fue la mano del Diego!

English Translation:
Now I can say what I couldn't at that moment, what I defined at that time as The Hand of God. What hand of God? It was the hand of Diego!
