It has no political significance whatsoever. It wasn't shocking, it was two teams of overpaid, steroid-filled guys pummeling each other for the purpose of entertainment. One team won. It's completely unimportant. The only thing about that game that had any political import was the ads, and they were far more influential than the stupid game itself.
