that anyone would ever care that you do not watch. I NEVER watch but did this time. Not because the Chiefs are called "our"team (I live in Kansas, God Trump is an idiot) but because I do not like the sport and do not care for much that surrounds it. I watched this year, as I have watched many of their games this year because their quarterback Mahomes is amazing, magical even, to watch. I go do things when he is not on field and I cannot tell you what or how many games they won this year. EVERYONE I know has made a huge deal out of me watching or caring "finally" about "our" team. People are odd. I love tennis and follow that fairly closely and get teased over watching the "rich mans sport". As I said, people are odd.

Somehow watching that game, seeing the ticket prices, being shown the famous and wealthy in their private boxes and having to wait through 4 ads at least between regular plays should have shown anyone that this is not a game for everyone. You can watch on TV but it is as expensive as anything else, or worse as it is the "SUPER bowl played by "Super" heros. Can you even imagine what the cost of these worthless, often in poor taste halftime shows, given the circumstances of our world, are?

I hope they do not go to the White house for cold, slimy hamberders as well.
