The biggest TV event of the year, and 41% of the site says they ain't watching. These are the same people who voted Gamecube had a better online plan than Xbox...

I guess it cuts into Vice City...

no, that just proves that 40 percent of those people don't give a crap about football...

i personally think watching any sport on tv is retadred... i mean you're rooting for a fucking team whose players you don't know and i just don't understand what people get out of it...

if you like to play sports, that's fine... just watching them, especially when it's not even a team whose players you know is just retarded... parents watching their kid's soccer game is fine, but watching the brazillian soccer team kick the crap out of some other soccer team is just boring, retarded and meaningless...

Not all of Gamefaqs members/readers are American y'know.

I sure as hell don't give a crap about the Superbowl. Why would I? Its not exactly a sport that is popular in England!

What's wrong with watching sports?
I may not know Ben Wallace or Jon Barry, but I still watch the Pistons every game.

So, Sonic, why are you watching a movie when you don't even know the actors?

A lot of people don't care for football. What's wrong with that? It's not exactly the most entertaining sport in America anyway.

Heresy! You all speak heresy!

Actually I don't give a wank about NFL football, "it's boring" is right. College football is where it's at baby. Go Buffs!

I used to not like football either. I never understood why people could sit down and watch it. My dad used to drag me to Saints games when I was a kid and I hated it then too.

Then one day at work about a year ago I noticed my co-manager always getting money and we would go out to eat on it. Every week he was getting money from this one idiot! They were betting on football, and I was like shit I need to get in on some of that. So I go up to the guy and ask him if he wants to bet (everybody told me to just bet against the team he's going for). I did, and I started winning a bunch of money too.

I finally lost a game after 5 or 6, and decided I was going to have to get knowledgable about the sport. So bam, I've been hooked ever since. My dad is a big Saints fan so I can now share in his enthusiasm. Even before when I didn't like sports, I at least went to a party to watch the Super Bowl. I'm guessing the American part that voted are anti-social as well.

Oh yeah, the Saints should be in the Super Bowl for owning Tampa Bay hardcore this season :D

Let me get this straight. Because a person doesn't like football, there not as "good" as someone who does? That has got to be the most arrogant and ignorant thing I have ever heard.

Drift, I don't really understand where you're coming from here. You claim that because 41% of GameFaqs people who voted, are anti-social losers because they won't be watching some sporting event?

That's full of shit, and you know it.

I'm not a big football fan (bball & baseball is more my thing). I will be watching the SuperBowl. But that doesn't make me social or cool or anything.

Some people just aren't into the whole SuperBowl deal. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

As for other posters saying it's stupid to watch sports on TV rooting for players you don't know... let me say this.

I like watching my local basketball team play. I like how they play, and I like watching a group of guys come together to string together winning ball games. It's fun to do so, and I get a kick out of it.
Plus I play basketball in real life, so watching the pros go at it I pick up on moves I can add to my repertoire.

Nuff said. I don't need to further explain why watching sports is NOT completely "a waste of time"

Most of the online world is not from the States I'm afraid. I can't imagine ever watching the Super Bowl.

How would you like it if somebody from the Carribbean or England made fun of everybody for not watching the biggest Cricket Tournament? Most North Americans would be like "Get the fuck out of here with that shit".

Oh yeah and Football sucks. Basketball is where its at. I'm also partial to Soccer and Cricket(my dad is jamaican, hehe).

Here I am in the US and I can honestly say I won't be watching the Super Bowl. I never have. I think I watched the 1st 15 minutes of one maybe 15 years ago? There's just something about sweaty men grabbing for a pigskin ball that does... nothing for me.

Actually, I'm not interested in ANY sports. I guess I am your typical video game geek.

Ok, I'm an American AND I'm a Football fan. The problem here is that the two teams playing are teams that I really don't give a rat's ass about. I'm a Giants fan. I watched some of the game before and it just didn't interest me. So, just to add to some more reality to that poll, some of those people who polled could be people in the US in their 20s or 30s or whatever and not be fans of the Buccaneers or the Raiders. Big deal.

I would agree that GameFaqs is shit, but not because of that. How about the fact that it's the slums of the internet?

The Slums? No the slums would be a place thats run down and out of control(kinda like another place i know....). Gamefaqs is the internet daycare center.

Gamefaqs does have some cool people.Not all of them are lamers.I enjoy some of the intelligent discussions in some of the boards especially the Devil may cry 1 and 2 boards.

The lamest board i have ever seen over there are the DOA3 board and the DOA2: hardcore board.I keep seeing so many topics on how to get the nude Kasumi gazillion times and all the other perverted shit.Its sad... oh_no

Agreed. GameFAQs is not as bad as many folks make it out to be. You just got to know where to look. I met a few gamers from GameFAQs who have really helped me out. Really nice, good people who know a lot about gaming and are very friendly.

Just take a look over at the Saturn General Board for example. It's not bad discussion going on. Those people generally know their stuff. Although some have a bias in them... but they're HUMAN! wink
