Try to understand it like this:

The SuperBowl is more akin to a televised national religious holiday than a sporting event, brought to you by the best and most moral kind of social institution: Absurdly huge and wealthy corporations.

EDIT: If you tell an average American man you are not interested in the Superbowl... not that you dont watch football in general, but that you do not even care about the /Superbowl/?

They are likely to basically mock you for the rest of your life for reasons they will make up.

Football is very similar to a religion in America, in many ways.

Fuck are you on about? I'm middle-aged, friends and neighbors and coworkers of all races and incomes and ages, live in the South, and I don't know a soul who watched the game. If it wasn't for the Taylor Swift thing, I wouldn't have known it was last Sunday.

120 million people watched it. On CBS alone.

You are a statistical outlier.

They already have literal religion to get frothy over.
