I admit that some of the Commercials are good.
But I could really give a flying **** about who wins.
I know some think that is anti-american, or whatever.
I will probably get up early Sun. morning,
go down to Huntington Beach, and watch some of the bands playing along the route for the HB Marathon.
Then either go find a place to eat, that doesn't have the game on.(good luck)
or come home and take a nap and sleep thur it.
More than likely,
I will be with my also sports hating buddy, Jonpaul.

I don't care about the Super Bowl. It has also been my observation that most Tiki people do not follow professional sports. The Tiki gene is stronger than the Sports Fan gene !!
As even most Tiki bars will be showing the game, I think I'll go snowboarding.

I think I've heard of that jibber-jabber before, I don't think it's going to last though

Since there are so many sports bars, Do we really need our Tiki Bars
to pander to that crowd, I really find it distasteful to be in a crowd
of beer drenched TV screamers who don't see anything wrong with rioting after their team wins.
So no, not my cup of rum.

I would have watched if the broncos were in it because they would kick my happy ass out of Colorado if I didn't. They are out so I have no obligation - going to catch Jimmy Falon's live show after it, thought.

When the Raiders and Rams left Los Angeles because of lack of interest, sports writers in other NFL cities said that the people of L.A. would rather go surfing than watch football.
I think that was suppose to be a sarcastic putdown but I did not see anything wrong that.

I have zero interest in the superbowl. World cup is a different matter!

How about a link to information about the HB Marathon entertainment...
Run Surf City
Superbowl half time show with Madonna? No!
High Tide at Bolsa Chica? Si!
And just down PCH a bit is some of those crazy Californians who would rather surf than watch football on TV.
Seal Beach Surf Championships
All Proceeds from the Event will be donated to Seal Beach Victim's Fund in support of the members of the community that have been affected by the Salon Meritage tragedy.

Never.
Millionaires "playing" a "game" they don't really care about. It's all about the money now. Fu*k that sh*t.
Professional sports are a brain eating bacteria.
Wake up people!

Football bores me, and I won't be watching the game.
The Bowers Museum is free that day:

It may be a good time to see this exhibit:
Spirits and Headhunters: Art of the Pacific Islands

I will go further...
TV Sports are the
ANTI - TIKI
Nothing depresses me more than finding an old tiki bar with a modern TV blaring today's sports news...
WHO CARES???
IF THERE'S A TIKI IN HEAVEN, PLEASE ANSWER ME: WHY DO PEOPLE CARE SO MUCH ABOUT PRIVATELY OWNED TEAM/BRANDS ??? THE PLAYERS AND SPECIALLY THE OWNER DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEM!
I guess if you played it as a kid or your dad did. Or you know one of the players personally, or if you put money in it or if you really enjoy it (which I sometimes do, I also used to play it in Nintendo, good times...)
Oh boy... The thing is, if you tell someone that you love tiki/art. The look back at you like you are a WEIRDO.
I say do not support them. Support your local team. Take back sports for the people. Not corporations.
I live for Art, sports, friends/family. It kills me to see advertise in every square inch. I want to see real passion. Not a multibillon dollar circus.
Excuse my rant, but this is NOTHING compared to the footbol Assault your psique is getting this weekend.
Turn it off.
WORSHIP TIKI INSTEAD!
