Interesting article on football
With the Superbowl not too far away, I came across this article about football. As with any other sport, football is a spectacle, but is there any other sport where the social aspect of the spectacle is bigger than the spectacle itself? (Boy I used spectacle a lot in that sentence. Spectacle spectacle spectacle.)
I knew football had really short bursts of action, but I didn’t think out of a three hour production only eleven minutes consisted of the ball in play. No wonder there are so many other things synonomous with football besides, you know, football. Not a bad excuse for a party, but it makes sense why football just isn’t all that fun to watch by yourself. Unless you hear those voices too.
