The proper name for all these festivities
is Super bowl 50 played in Levi Stadium in Santa Clara California and is the
fight of the Denver Broncos vs. the Carolina Panthers to decide the
Championship game of the National Football League. I am waiting for events like
these to be played in places called Viagra Stadium with erect penises
decorating the venue. I liked it better when stadiums were named after
historical figures rather than jean companies or giants of commerce. That only
reminds me how much more I must have paid for my Levi jeans in order for the
company to afford to buy an entire stadium and name it after themselves.
The fans are pumped up and the
players are pumped up and hopefully the balls will be pumped up for the game
too. The event gives ordinary people the right to act crazy in an effort to
cheer a team along. There is a guy who hauls a giant pizza oven to the parking
lot for each home game. People pay a fortune to get tickets to a game. Hotels
will overcharge for rooms in the city gams are being held. All of a sudden
everyone eats wings and chilly a football meal staple. Bars are overcrowded
with drunken souls[cs1] .
58% of Americans say that football is
still their favorite sport. Why do we have so many die- hard fans? A die-hard
fan will spend for hours prior to any game in the parking lot drinking and
making some kind of food. Some will even
bring a raw bar to enjoy in the freezing temperatures of oysters, lobster and shrimp
What makes normal boring people
turn into tribal animals when it comes to a football game? Is it part of our
value system where we need to follow others in a tribe? Sports bring team
colors, warriors, songs and a history and tradition that has been going on now
for 50 years in the National Football League. Rooting for the winning team can affect you
physically and emotionally. Scientists have proved that testosterone rises when
the couch potato’s team is winning. All these changes affect your mood too. Women
know to keep a safe distance away from their man during an exciting game. Last year the New England Patriots won the
Super bowl again which was their 4th win since 2002. People are
still charged up in New England meanwhile some 300 miles south of New England
in Lincoln Financial field where the Philadelphia Eagles play the grounds are
silent. In the past 50 years the Eagles have made it to the Super bowl only
twice and they lost both times. So, no testosterone flowing in Philadelphia.
Yet they have their fans too. It
is more like an abusive relationship that will start with hope and end in
sadness when the Eagles ultimately loose. Depression is the effect. Sports fan
depression can make you lose your appetite and physically harm you. So just
have fun and don’t take anything too seriously ,
