I'm not going to watch the football game

[Cyrano]

I'm going to read for a while, and then go to sleep.

Many that I know think there's something wrong with me.

I've been called a "weirdo" which I really don't understand. What's weird about not being interested in football?

Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with me. I think there's something wrong with people who think that everyone is supposed to want to watch.

Is there something wrong with someone not wanting to watch the game? I don't watch the Academy Awards either, and some people I know, want to know "why not?"

And let me add one more thing that many won't understand. I don't even know who's playing.

Does that make me as unaware as Trump as to what's taking place on Earth? Sure hope not.

1. No plans to do so...running the vacuum.

[ooky]

2. Who's playing?

[BigmanPigman]

19. Don't know. I only watch if a Phila team is playing so

basically that means once every 50 years. I just learned last night that it takes place today. I'll go food shopping since the store should be empty.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

21. Not the Lions.

Maybe next year.

[Srkdqltr]

30. Next decade..maybe??

[Sherman A1]

3. Same here

Zero interest in professional sports.

[jmg257]

4. Good night! No interest equals no interest - no biggie!

If ur not interested, you’d never appreciate it anyway!
So sleep well!

[Arkansas Granny]

5. I can't remember the last time I watched any football game. Just not my thing.

[lpbk2713]

6. I think the Red Sox are playing the 76ers.

My favorite player is Wayne Gretzky.

[leftieNanner]

15. DUZY!!!

[blugbox]

45. This post earns one:

Ggggggggooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllll

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. I'm not either.

But then, I wouldn't anyhow since I'm not a football fan. I'm watching the Kitten Bowl.

[littlemissmartypants]

8. Your plans sound perfect to me. Rock On! ❤ nt

[cwydro]

9. What's with all these posts about not watching a football game?

I don’t think I’ve ever announced what sports event I’m NOT going to watch.

Wth?

[obnoxiousdrunk]

35. It happens

every year. Look at me ....

[murielm99]

10. My husband will be watching it.

I really don't care about it.

The Super Bowl is America's Circus Maximus.

[Different Drummer]

11. Can't possibly watch since Hannity ruined it by interviewing Trump.

Also, I've never cared for the halftime "entertainment."

[Marie Marie]

12. You would have to duct tape me to a chair and then

duct tape my eyes open and even then, I would look elsewhere. Just not interested.

[Srkdqltr]

13. Not into football husband isn't either.

You would think they would cancel it it we don't watch.

[neeksgeek]

14. Not watching!

I know who’s playing, though I have no idea why these particular teams are playing. I’m also totally unsure what any of this has to do with patriotism.

In a family full of football fanatics and right-wing Christofascists, I’m just a total weirdo. Personally, being considered weird for a lack of interest in sports and fascism is fine with me.

[Different Drummer]

18. "Personally, being considered weird for a lack of interest in sports and fascism is fine with me."

Same here!

[trueblue2007]

16. i like you A LOT !!!!! i only like the commercials.

[Delmette2.0]

17. I'm not watching either.

Mostly because my team isn't playing. Maybe next year.

[petronius]

20. I am going to watch the game...

I will not be consuming any alcohol...

I'm currently eating chips and salsa...

I will not be attending a Super Bowl party...

I'll be rooting for the Niners...

I don't think there's anything wrong with any of us!

[SWBTATTReg]

22. I don't know who's playing either, and don't really care. I got other more important things to ...

worry about and do, besides sitting down and watching the TV for literally six hours (probably). The games drag on forever, and even though I played football in high school, it's nothing like pro football...I view it as the playthings of billionaires going at it, and that's it.

[shanti]

23. I'm on your side

I HATE football, but my mother and bro are bigtime 49ers fans, always have been, and are stoked. I'm a Niner fan by default, lol. But some watch it only for the ads....

[Skittles]

24. why do you feel the need to tell anyone

I never watch the game.

[Heron5]

25. Not for me either.

Football has two of my least favorite things — violence interrupted only by meetings before every play. Like others here, I watched the Kitten Bowl on the Hallmark Channel. Cutest touchdowns you ever did see and not one injured paw.

[apcalc]

26. PLUS

I read that the dumbass is running ads during commercial time.,..

Why watch and get pissed off?

[AllaN01Bear]

27. me neather,

[jcmaine72]

28. Same here.

I absolutely loathe football and the Neanderthal-like culture that revolves around that sport. Always have, always will.

[blueinredohio]

29. I never watch either and thankfully my husband isn't a fan either.

[JonLP24]

31. I just saw a Trump ad during the Super Bowl

It wasn't even real criminal justice reform just a watered down version.

[dchill]

32. There is NOTHING wrong with you.

[mfcorey1]

33. That drumpf ad has me ready to turn the channel.

[FarPoint]

34. I am not watching it either...

I do like Sports/ local ..I support our local college Basketball Team... University of Dayton Men's Basketball Team...The Dayton Flyers..who just happen to be Number 7 Nationally.... I'm ready for March Madness

[avebury]

36. I never watch football.

I have been watching a movie marathon on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Then it will be reading for a while before going to bed.

[Greywing]

37. I'm not watching either ... gave up on NFL

after they kowtowed to the MAGA crowd by not allowing peaceful demonstration/protest during anthem, what was done to Kaperncik and the number of concussions, etc. Was hard since I was a gun-ho Broncos fan.

[tavernier]

38. I do enjoy the commercials so the game is on but muted

until they pause for a break. A few cute ones so far.

We all like what we like.

[Generic Other]

39. I am with you 1000%

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017566606#post1

Bread and Circuses. Distraction from the death of Democracy. You couldn't make me watch if you paid me.

[iemitsu]

40. I'm wondering why we aren't all in the streets morning the end of our republic.

[Fullduplexxx]

41. I'm not either but I never do

[eppur_se_muova]

42. Haven't watched football since the 70s.

Not that it was any different then, just that my Dad would sometimes watch. To me, it's just so much commercial excess, millionaires playing for billionaires, all subsidized by taxes.

[Talitha]

43. People think I'm weird for staying out all night with my telescope.

But it's so much fun being a nerd!

[Generic Brad]

44. Most years I don't watch

This year I am. I’ve never had a preference for an AFC team until I lived in Kansas for a few years. I respect Coach Reid of the Chiefs and would like to see him lead his team to victory.
