- "Shoehorned" articles about Taylor are considered not relevant.
- Criticism of Taylor is fine, but open trolling or low effort posts like "Her music sux" will be removed.
- Downvote trolling is actively monitored. Downvotes are enabled and welcome, but if all that you do is downvote, it will result in bans. Join the discourse, if you don't like this community feel free to block it. Admins have the ability to see votes by user, and we use that ability here.

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.
