The Super Bowl has been a "thing" here for around 30 years I'd say. Yet every year our media still produces articles explaining the rules and what it's all about to people. So, it's not quite "pervasive".


I would assume that a good chunk of the men in Quebec watched the game last night. Many were likely invited to a party and for some of them it was probably the only NFL game they watched all year. There is also a chunk of the male population that are real NFL junkies here, but they're a minority. But there is another chunk of men that probably could name less than half the teams in the NFL, and maybe don't even fully understand the rules - even if they have a rough idea of how the game is played.


My wife and her friends don't know any of the teams or players and they don't really know the ruies either.

Is it big-time different from the CFL rules or what?

Perhaps many people in Canada can't relate to those either?

Kentucky has looked pretty bad the last 4 games, including a 22-point blowout to my old favorite team, Florida. More turnovers than assists, and almost no effort on defense. Hopefully Cal can figure out a way to restore team chemistry.

Most people who can't understand NFL rules can't understand CFL rules either.


The difference between them is kind of like between rugby union and rugby league, if people are familiar with that sport.

I'm obviously not American, but that the "General Chat Thread" contains some SuperBowl on a U.S. majority forum being strange?

Really?

Bwwaaah. It's the General Chat thread. The discussion goes where the discussion goes, I say.
