It’s another Super Bowl Party again—crass consumerism


By SJ Otto
It’s Super Bowl (LIII, 2019) Sunday. This day is like an unofficial holiday. People get together and throw Super Bowl Parties. This is a lot like Black Friday. It is a chance for companies to sell a lot of food and liquor. It is also a prim time to advertize. As with Black Friday, the event is an orgy of crass consumerism and capitalist commercialism—to the max. The advertizing is so pervasive that many news outlets post their favorite Super Bowl commercials, either before the event airs or after.

It's finally Super Bowl Sunday, and for fans across the world, that means tuning in to CBS or our free live Super Bowl stream to watch the Patriots and Rams go head to head to see who will be crowned champions. But while they go toe to toe, some people will be waiting in anticipation for the halftime show. And still others will be watching Super Bowl LIII for the commercials.

There is also the controversy over the half time show. Many entertainers have planned on boycotting the Super Bowl over the treatment of Colin Kaepernick over his apparent ban from the league for being the initial leader of the kneeling movement. Kaepernick’s apparent ban from the league was for being the initial leader of the kneeling movement.
Adam Levine and his group the Maroon 5 have decided to ignore the boycott and cross over the line to sell themselves out for the money and the glory of the Super Bow. –The traitorous traitors!

What would a Super Bowl half time be without a game between beer bottles?
