No offense or judgement meant to anyone if that’s your thing (to each their own). That’s just how I see pretty much all professional sports - the super bowl is just the poster child for it.

Personally, I have disdain against the super bowl because it costs us taxes that could be going to much more productive things for society. I think it would be fine if we didn’t spend so much money on it, and I have nothing against people who enjoy it.
You could argue the revenue brought in from hosting the super bowl replaces the tax money spent on it by the host city, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. The NFL pockets most of the revenue, and the host city, itself, often loses the tax money it invested.
FWIW, I played football for about 12 years of my life, from a being a little child up through varsity in high school, so I’m not really criticising something foreign to me. I just think it’s a waste of resources with the way it is done.
