XLIX

This year, February 1st is the day many people will be gathered around the TV either rooting for the Seattle Seahawks, the New England Patriots, the commercials, or Katy Perry. It's the game so many people have been waiting for to see who will be able to claim the football trophy this season. In the end, one team will come out victorious. Some people will be celebrating, others will be dropping their heads in disappointment. Of course, there are always possibilities of fights breaking out between fans of the football teams, leading to many injuries.

How far are people willing to go to show their team spirit or to celebrate their win? Especially with having to watch all the games to get to the Super Bowl, the loss of one's team can be a touchy subject. To add on, having a person next to you who is jumping up and down because of their victory could get annoying and sickening. With alcohol as a factor, people could get pretty irritated. As a result, viewers think that the quickest and most direct way to confront and deal with the problem is by verbal actions which lead to physical violence.

Are people on the loosing side of the game overreacting about their team's loss? Or is their defeat really that big of a deal? It is understandable that winning the big football game is something to be very proud of, but it seems a bit embarrassing to be the person who breaks out into a fight about it. It almost seems like a situation kids have. I mean, it is only a game.

This year, since both teams have already won the Super Bowl before, the hardships of loosing shouldn't be as bad than if their team had made it to the final game once only to loose. At least their favorite actually made it to the Super Bowl. Try to keep in mind that there are some teams that have never even participated in the final round.

Hopefully in the end, both teams have played a fair and entertaining game for every viewer. Some of us will be happier than others, but the Super Bowl should be a good experience for everyone. So whether you'll be checking into the game for the commercials, waiting for the halftime show, or rooting on the teams throughout the entire game, remember that this is the last game for the season so make it a good one for you and others around you. As of right now, we can't say who will be the winning football team for Super Bowl XLIX. We're just going to have to wait and see.
