Joke's on them. =p They had to pay money to avoid hearing about the superbowl! How stupid is THAT!? lol j/kRepatriate wrote:People that are actually living abroad on this forum (which is a tiny minority) don't have this problem of tuning out the shitbowl.

and for some bizarre reason its on the sport news here too
i have no idea why - i think the nfl is the most boring garbage ever
half the time the game is stopped - no flow to it
last time i watched it when i was in america afew years ago
Mass fan sports, olympics, world cup - whatever
all designed to distract the masses from how much theyre getting screwed
by their respective governments on a daily basis
And why do they call it football, they hardly ever us their feet anyway?
the real football is what you call soccer in Usa and Australia
- again a pretty boting game - dont understand the mass hysteria nad grown men
acting like retards when a goal is kickean
I think the Brits are the least receptive to it but the NFL managed to win Canada over so they know to push hard in other anglo markets.
I think the redneck equivalent in Australia is called bogans. I've met some of them overseas, and I can tell you--they're as nasty, crude, and racist as they come!repatriate your are spot on - dont worry i am not offended - i totally agree with you and could not have put it better myslf
aussies are very similar to americans with their fake bravado and super masculine women
i am not your typical australian , my parents hail from the former yugoslavia and i have been brought up in a different way
i have never really felt i belonged in Australia and dont really relate to many of the cultural attributes of the typical asutralian
which in many way is similar to your run of the mill yankee redneck or hillbilly

I think they go because of the movie "Eat, Pray, Love".
I agree with what you state here but let's be fair -- half of those square-jawed Aryan supermen are Black.Repatriate wrote: No offense but a lot of aussies I met were secretly enamored of American culture despite the constant Anti-America talk you see going on.

Heard this recently on a newscast (perhaps Fox News or Fox Business News?), male newscaster was saying he also would never wear another man's jersey. I had never thought about it before, except the vague impression that the only people to do so are the backwards-ball-cap foul-mouthed loudmouth guys that sometimes get allowed out in public.Ned Zeppelin wrote:The thing that I hate most about pro sports is the jerseys. Wearing another man's name on your back is pathetic and it show that you are not only a slave to cliche american culture, but you are also that athlete's property. It is so unmanly and pathetic that it makes me want to laugh and vomit at the same time.
Penguins, right?zacb wrote:Honestly, no. I may watch ... the Stanley Cup (since my hometown team might be in it), otherwise I could give a rip less.
Well, he's right about the quarterbacks. The ones highly regarded, like Manning or Montana, tended to be white, whereas black ones like McNabb, were more complimented on their athletic abilities as oppose to spot decision making.Jester wrote:I agree with what you state here but let's be fair -- half of those square-jawed Aryan supermen are Black.Repatriate wrote:In a lot of ways the NFL represents everything anglo.

If it wasn't for gambling, the popularity of the NFL would be no where near where it is right now.Contrarian Expatriate wrote:
Secondarily, many people gamble on the SuperBowl and there is no other sporting event that is more bet upon.
