(10,893 posts)and even I could care less about the Super Bowl. If the Raiders aren't playing in it, it's pretty much ho-hum for me. But what I don't like about Super Bowls is the extra attention being paid to the commercials. Yeah, there are a bunch of special commercials for Super Bowls. So what? They bombard us with stupid commercials all the time. Commercials have really become a turn-off for me when it comes to spectator sports. It's why I can rarely sit through an entire game, even if my favorite team plays. Especially the beer and the phone commercials....I don't know how much more I can stomach them. I'd rather the networks not go to commercials, and just either continue to show the players getting off the field, or have dead air until the break is over. With all the commercialism, I feel as though I and other viewers are being treated like mindless drones.
