Do you guys think the boycott the Super Bowl idea is common across league fan bases or unique to the Seahawks fan base? I can understand how you guys hate both the Patriots and dislike the Rams. I, as a 49ers fan, do not dislike the Rams as much as I don't think the 49ers have had a meaningful game against them since the early 2000s. And the Patriots I dislike as much as the next fan, but you guys have a special fervour against them due to the Super Bowl loss.
Anyway the reason I ask is Super Bowl viewership dipped in the US last year to 103 million. There is a prop bet paying 1.80 for over or under 106.5 million. Would you take the under bet? Seems like a lot of people are upset about the call at the Superdome. Was the dip last year due to kneeling across the league or does it represent a trend? Also the dip coincided with another Patriots Super Bowl birth...
To be perfectly honest, I dont consider it a boycott. I call it finding something more interesting for me to do. It is after all entertainment. I would not be entertained by that game. You can call me a bad fan, I really dont care. I care to do things that will keep my interest. Watching a movie that I have not seen in a while and seeing different things that I dont recall will do that. Watching the 500 commercials on things that I dont want to watch or purchase is just a waste of time. Picture in picture commercials....again, waste of time.
I have seen a post here and there on other sites that promote some watching and some not watching....GB and Atlanta.
I dunno.
A little story tho. I was in School in knoxville during a SB game. I was so busy that I was only able to watch about 6 minutes before I had to get back to work on projects for me and others. Some guys watched the game and I did not because of my priorities. Seattle was not playing and I cant remember who was in 2002 or 2003. Cant remember exactly what year as it has been a while. I wanted something else but that did not happen. But it was my priority to get the work done instead of the game. I dont know what my priorities are at the moment...but this game is not on it. Just a personal opinion.
Hope you all get some enjoyment out of this entertainment.
