America’s most watched sporting event is the Super Bowl. It is what Japanese call “American Football”, but to us native Americans, just football. Over 100,000,000 fans will watch the Super Bowl this year. Some will watch for the game itself, others for the halftime show which this year will feature Usher (an iconic pop/soul singer and dancer), and still others for the entertaining commercials (my favorite was the Budweiser ad from the 80’s which had three frogs saying, “Bud…Weis…Er”). This year a 30 second commercial will cost a company about seven million dollars. The two teams playing this year come from San Francisco and Kansas City. Both are viable teams and it should be classic showdown. One interesting titbit is the story the media is all up in the arms about. One of the Kansas City players (tight end Travis Kelce) is dating (wait for it, drum roll, boom, boom, boom): Taylor Swift. Swift has been seen at numerous games cheering and dancing for her man. There has been more media coverage of this than the actual game this year. Oh, well! I just want to sit and watch a good close game. Maybe, San Fran 34 and KC 31.
