it’s been called the greatest sporting event known to man watched in every household around the world but is the super bowl all that most Americans say it is?, when I came over to America 3 years ago I had little knowledge about the sport I taught I was silly really because is o similar to rugby the only difference is that they wear pads over here and have a few different rules. nothing to be hipping about right as foreigner you would think that but unless you actually gain some true knowledge about the sport and understand what it’s all about or mean to the people over here in the united states speaking badly about it will most likely get you enemies.
sure we watch it overseas at 2-3 am for some but it’s not the same thing and most people don’t even know what’s going on when they turn on there TV’s they just like the fact that its super bowl and want to see what all the fuss is about, for me it was like that until I came over to America I’ve seen two super bowls my first one was Giants vs. new England but I never sat true long enough to enjoy it and the second time was Sunday when the saint played colts and it totally blew my mind away I sat there actually found myself enjoying the game and as I looked around me at the twenty people sitting and screaming, it hit me this is their sport the fact that football was invented in this country makes it even more special to them and I could see why the event has a way of bringing people together man or women even if you don’t like the sport or know what is going on it just makes you want to be around when it goes down. So Super Bowl Phenom or not?? yes to me it really is and specially when underdogs go and win it makes it even more special.
in media super bowl is projected as the biggest sporting event on earth over 30 miliion people tune in to watch these players represent themself and thier state to them this is a battle that many of them refue to lose maurice jones drew is a greate example of a person that never taught he would make it to the NFL, but after a lifetime of hard work he got his jearsey and according to him after all he sacruficed to get there was well worth it. so i guess dream do come true in a sport where youre life is a stake everyday you step on the field when the saints made that final touch down to secure the titel they did not only carry a hole state on there shoulders they entered a stadium to prove that dreams do come true in every aspect you just gotta workhard enough for it to make sure you get yours.

Cool post. the youtube links really make people understand what the superbowl is about. Keep up the good work. mr P
ReplyDeleteI have also heard that its huge. but just like you, Im from Sweden and its not that big here. here, and in the rest of Europe is soccer the greatest. so its probably hard to understand how big Super Bowl really is. but I would NOT say that it is a phenomen ;)
ReplyDeleteWell said Mulai, It definitely feels like you described when you live in Sweden and try to watch Super bowl, and it will most likely stay that way until i get the level of understanding and appreciation that you and so many Americans have.
ReplyDeleteincluding video footage was a great way to emphasize what Maurice Jones said and getting your point across that super bowl is more about making your dream come true than anything else.
This article definitely gave me new found understanding and appreciation for the game, thanks and keep up the great work.
