I was thinking something to that effect; think of the shitty infrastructure in New Orleans. You'd think that they had six+ years after a natural disaster to rebuild and put in new wiring, etc. but nope.

I believe Football in general is in decline; too much head injuries and the next five-ten years when the lawsuits stack up and the playing rules change such that the game becomes an infantilized version of itself people will simply tune out.

this is fucking ridiculous, outside of the olympics this is the most watched event all over the world. im also a ravens fan so its bullshit as a fan i wait over a decade for a superbowl game and this shit goes down.

[painter]

Damn. Y'all some cranky dudes. Even pissed off at chicks shaking their asses.

Under Bush it took weeks to get power back to Louisiana, Obama just 30 minutes.

What is it about the Internet that turns everyone into the comic book store guy from The Simpsons?

[kosko]

Yea its really telling that the Power goes off in arguably one of the biggest events on the globe. America's grid is held together with tape and glue so I am not surprised. It would just be interesting to know what ends up being the cause of the blowout. Was it the Halftime show blowing the boxes or just generally overuse in the area at one point in time.

[kosko]

49ers rolling right now...

Beyonce is a very attractive woman, no doubt. But I'm not sitting through garbage that I can barely stand at a nightclub whlist being sick to watch her shake her ass.

[JayRock604]

As soon as the feminazis start getting fat cheerleaders into the NFL, I'm so done with football.
Also those 49ers got me on edge right now!!!

The conspirational theorist in me says that this was done on purpose to give more time to advertisers.

[bacon]

[Jevioso]

I knew we were in decline the moment I was hearing "Single Ladies" and "Independent Women" during the halftime of one of the only places in America where full displays of testosterone are treated with a little bit of respect.

[raliv]

China must be laughing at us. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

This is more symbolic than most people realize at first glance. According to her girls are really running this motherfucker anyway, right?

China has nothing to laugh at when air quality is so bad people have to buy fresh air.

No way. Football (i.e. Soccer) World Cup is the biggest event by miles. And not far behind it are the European Cup, the Champions League and the FA Cup.

The reason these are so followed because South America and Africa all play lots of soccer and their players are poached by the European Clubs - same reason NHL is followed in Eastern Europe.

[Hotwheels]

And us Americans give zero fucks about soccer for the most part.

The rest of the world says we are too full of ourselves. Yes, we are full of ourselves. It's part of being proud of who you are.

I do not see a problem with being full of oneself.

It's part of being a man.

btw- I'm glad the Ravens won. Fucking hate the Niners.

Green Bay Packers- 13 championships. Still and always on top.

This must be some sort of American propaganda you have bitten. Nobody cares about your superbowl outside America.

The rest of the world is far more interested in the real football. You know the one where you kick the ball with your feet - hence the name - football. The worlds cup in football is what the world likes to see outside of Olympics.

American football and baseball are two sports artificially kept popular in America, while pretty much no one around the world is interested in them, they are fringe sports. Therefore Americans appear to be totally dominating these sports and this rises the national pride.

I didn't mean to insult anyones patriotic feelings, but if you consider yourself a red pill person then you must realize that American culture is pulling wool over the eyes of its citizens in more ways then just pushing feminism and shaming marrying foreign wives. There are tons of other subtle methods.
