A question for non-Americans!

[EradiusLore]

The BBC seem to be pushing the SB for some reason - I myself prefer rugby (go go six nations!).

rugby is a great game, watched wales get smashed by the all blacks a few years ago in the millenium stadium, just...wow

 

[NLS]

Nope, although they started broadcasting it here in Norway recently, I'm not really interested.

 

[ApeShapeDeity]

The ONLY reason I know what the "Super Bowl" is, is due to American movies/TV. Nope. Coudn't care less.

I do, however think it's pretty funny when I hear US people call the winner "World champions". While, technically true, who the hell else plays?

BTW: Here in Oz, we have Australian Rules. A derivative of Gallic football... If you don't know and care to look...

Edit: Besides, rugby's better! ;P

 

[bader0]

i dont even think it airs in australia and am glad of that i dont really know what it is but from the simpsons i have gathered that i dont want to be anywhere near it :\

 

[Wise_Smiling_Panda]

What is this bowl you speak of? Like a really big fruit bowl? Hah, Americans and their funny art.

 

[Woem]

I'm from Belgium. I don't watch the Super Bowl (to be honest I don't even know what sport they play at the Super Bowl). I do watch the ads though.

 

[karloss01]

I'm not fond of any sport in the slightest so no.

 

[Greenshoes]

no

 

[Pyotr Romanov]

I generally don't even watch tv, and I'm not going to make an exception for a sports thing, wherever it's from.

 

[cloudwolf616]

I'll respond with a question: Are YOU watching the Hurling final?

Very valid point!

 

[Lord Penney]

no, the six nations is better!

 

[Flames66]

I live in England. I have no interest what so ever in the super bowl. I don't watch professional sports in my own country let alone some one else's with a title that makes no sense.

 

[Thedutchjelle]

So those of you living outside the United States I have a question. Are any of you planning on watching the Super Bowl? Do you care at all? For those not aware the two teams this year are the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

All opinions are welcome just please keep them polite. Sports fans inside the states are encouraged to keep everyone who is not in the know properly informed.

EDIT: I changed the title. Happy now?

For those too lazy to google

I wasn't even sure what sport the super bowl was about

I don't watch football matches either, not even when the Dutch where in the half-finals during that stupid WC summer 2010. I don't watch any sport on TV. I find most of it very boring tbh.

 

[Benjirimm]

Just wanna make something clear: http://www.eatliver.com/img/2009/3849.jpg

But no I didn't watch it, watched all the trailers from the adverts though, far more interesting.

 

[JdaS]

A lot of people in Finland watch it. They stay up from 3am to 6am or whatever because of it. Doesn't interest me personally though, so I don't watch it.

 

[MarviG]

I'm probably not gonna watch it. But a huge majority of my friends are going to, even if it means they wont get any sleep tonight

Welcome to the Escapist!

Thanks ! ;-)

 

[spiffleh]

In Canada a lot of my friends seemed to watch the score but not the game. Personally I'm not a football fan, especially not an American football fan. But to each his own.

 

[Pilkingtube]

I didn't know it even aired in the UK 0_o

Regardless, I don't really enjoy american football, so no I won't be watching

 

[hecticpicnic]

I like playing sport ,don't like watching it (i watch it on occasion to amuse my friends)
But I don't think anyone in ireland has ever seen of American football,if so its probably 'cause of american TV shows(there everywhere we got to get to there spawn point and destroy it.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Superball is about baseball, right? I really have no idea... I seldom watch sports on TV, and never American sports.

Also, Inglip tells me to complete the Younsi trial. ("Yes, master, it will be done.")
