Think of the Super Bowl Sociologically


Along with excitement, the Super Bowl brings with it a host of other sociological concepts. Statisticians report of attendance, ticket prices, player performance, commercial costs, viewer ratings and more. Friends and families gather for food, drink, camaraderie and friendly competition. Gamblers get in on the action. Violence rears its head in the stadium stands, in city streets after the game and in domiciles across the fruited plain. Marketers and media moguls place more hype on this than any other sporting event in the year.

Some watch for the game, some watch for the commercials, some watch for the Half Time show and some don’t watch at all.

Use this blog to give your two cents worth on the Super Bowl be it good, bad or indifferent.
