Apparently, most US citizens have given up the scant excitements found in church attendance on at least one Sunday a year and declared the day to be Super Bowl Sunday. Although relatively few can pony up the time, travel, tickets (which run from $2,000 to 15,000 apiece), most people will gather at their TV altars for praise and prayers while taking the holy communion of beer and chips slathered in dips.

I just do not get the sports thing. In Europe the fans get murderous and have to be caged-in like animals. In the US people spend millions of dollar to wear the team colors of players with whom they would not choose to be around except for their physical abilities.
What is wrong with investing too much time, energy, and money in watching someone else play sports? It does not have lasting value and does no measurable improvement to your own health and life. When the game is over, it is over. You can talk about it and try to beat life back into it, but it's dead.
On the other hand, when you read a good book, see an excellent play, engage in thoughtful conversation, or learn something new, it is with you the rest of the days of your life. People watching sports are not participating in life; they are watching other people participating in theirs.
All that said, the Super Bowl has given us some of the best gay commercials and entertainment ever. To see some of these gay things about the Super Bowl, Click Here
