Okay, there's way too much SJW wank in here you guys. The Superb Owl is on pretty soon, so let's hear it.

Birdies or ...weird hat-wearing guys? I'm in for the birdies, myself. The bones don't lie: http://youtu.be/kmQeITYiSGs

The Patriots.

I am thinking the Patriots but I want the Seahawks to win...FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA!

Heh, my household is the opposite- they want the Pats to win, I think the Seahawks probably will.

I give zero fucks about the Super Bowl. I'm just here for the brownies and chicken wings.

I just really want Chris Evans to dress up as Captain America. ;_;

I hope the Patriots win. I hope Belichik laughs all the way to the bank. We're angry at the Patriots for cheating or something? What bullshit. We need to stop pretending they don't embody everything about professional sports and the sham of the $700 billion dollar sports industry. They're just returning our scornful gaze with an eager mirror.

Why don't you get angry about video games or movies

people spend plenty of money on those

sports industry makes $700B a year, exponentially more than what other entertainment industries earn, and yet it receives an outsize amount of tax breaks and subsidies AND it's partially tax exempt

stadiums are built $200M a pop with on average 70% of the costs paid via taxes, often displacing entire communities, altering city layouts and skylines, and putting a tremendous drain on resources for no discernible positive economic impact

many if not most businesses in various sectors receive tax breaks, including video games but there's something wrong here when the sports industry is making ten-twenty times what everyone else makes a year and yet we pay most of the costs for their giant fucking economic and land-use black holes and a good chunk of their salaries

if you're a filmmaker you can't even fucking get a tax break unless you can prove that you'll spend $500k in whatever place you intend to film in, but we build stadiums for millions of tax dollars and they bring no money to local economies

This is the most dramatic football post ever. IT IS A SHAM! GAZE INTO THE ABYSS! I AM SO EDGY!!!!

Professional football (both versions) are a huge money waster.

The NFL is totes a legit non-profit though. Totes.

For once, I kinda agree with Dethtoll. Cracked did a great post about how the football news this year has been spousal abuse, child abuse, drug abuse, and cheating, and we're watching two teams who embody all those things.

At least you're consistent about needlessly shitting on everything.

Pro sport is largely playing to the gambling community anyway, isn't it?

(Anonymous) - 2015-02-01 23:37 (UTC) - Expand

It turns out the NFL was just focusing on the "deflated balls" to take attention away from how they've been handling all of the actual awful things that've been going on in the league.

It's a real shitshow.

SEAHAWKS. Still need to grab some pretzels and chips and get across I-90. Hopefully there won't be too much traffic, since it's not here like the NFC championship.

We're kinda crazy.
