Who will watch Super Bowl?

[ArgoRavi]

I wish that the Canadian media hyped the Grey Cup as much as they do the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is the top story on all of the newscasts in Canada which wasn't the case with the Grey Cup. There is something very wrong with that IMO.

I will watch most, if not all, of the Super Bowl as this is the only NFL game all year that I watch that much of. I really don't care who wins though. BTW, it looks like people from Manitoba and Saskatchewan will tune into the Super Bowl in the largest numbers here in Canada: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/can...138603344.html

Completely agree Ravi, it perplexes my mind. The CFL is our game yet the Canadian media doesn't give the League the push it needs, particularly in the Southern Ontario market. The hype of the NFL is unreal, as an example, my father.... a man who is in no way shape or form a football fan, watches CFL games with me from time to time, but that about it. He's a Habs fan and rarely even watches hockey, yet every year, the Super Bowl is a must watch for him. I have a lot of friends that know nothing about football let alone watch football, yet they have Super Bowl parties. I wonder what it would take for Canadians to think of the CFL in the same light.

Football is about third on the list of what the Super Bowl is about. Commercials are #1 and the halftime show is #2. The Super Bowl is a celebration of capitalism first and foremost and, as such, has a very wide appeal. The Grey Cup is a celebration of football first and foremost so isn't quite as sexy to as much of the public. Unless we "water down" or "sell out" what the Grey Cup is all about, I don't know that there is anything that can be done for the Canadian media to treat the Grey Cup as they do the Super Bowl.

So the Grey Cup is a celebration of communism?
