      I was similarly ticked off by the halftime show during the final. Keep that shit contained to the Super Bowl.

            I swear a good number of American sports fans don’t actually like their sports. Everything I hear that’s “good” about the Super Bowl is external and not the actual game

              Baseball fans are pretty ride or die. I think it’s the necessary induction into the sport due to the arcane nature of it, similar to cricket fans.

            Yeah we do it in Australia as well and it’s generally b grade entertainment.
