Broncos because they have Peyton Manning and the greatest offense in NFL history.
If you love defense, then Seahawks are your choice.
Well.

I do admire great defensive work in football, and goalies/ defenders consistently hold the top spots of my 'Favourite Players' lists.

So I guess Seattle it is. We'll see how well my admiration for defenders transitions across sports.

Have you ever heard of entertainment?
Your nation is like a son. What it does right is your merit, as well as what it does wrong is your fault. When you praise it, be lucid and avoid exaggeration. Praising it too much can make it indolent. On the other hand, when you criticize it, be harsh, but do not ridicule it. Do your best to improve it, not through derision or disdain, but through good examples and dedication.

There is nothing even remotely entertaining about watching a few guys throw a ball. Nothing.

Peyton the divine is right behind Derek Jeter on my list of offensive smugness. It's like they are playing us the whole time, laughing at our gullibility.

I may be the asshole that would say "Who cares about a ball being tossed back and fourth?" But why do these fans of these teams act like they made a contribution to the game? You didn't win, they did. All you did was sit there and watch, screaming like an obbsessive fan. You probably beat up another fan for wearing the wrong colors post-game.

Anyways, I'm only interested for the movie trailers for the Superbowl. I could care less about football.
For so long, Mankind has been plagued by division. Division by culture, creed, skin color, religion and nationality. These very divisions have been the cause of most human conflicts. But in the age of globalism, we can finally have that chance to implement a world government where all human beings are seen as equals. Isn't that what everyone wants? World peace? I do. You should support that too. It may not end all conflicts, but the reductions of Man on Man violence will be at an all time low when the entire planet gets administered by one governing body.

Wow never heard this before, big bang theory much.

Like any sport, fans feel an attachment to the clubs they support, in fact they feel to be apart of the organization. As for American Football fans acting like European Football Hooligans, no. That was a stupid asinine statement made for no other reason than to be insulting. Which is really quite pathetic, Im sorry you got beat up a lot as a child, get over it.

There are plenty of forms of entertainment that are objectively less shitty than sports.

Example: Watching paint dry

Tisk I'm afraid I must point out that American football isn't the only sport where you watch men chase after a ball

e.g: Regular Football, Rugby and basketball
