Super Bowl President Interview

The Super Bowl airs on Fox this year. They will revive an annual tradition of interviewing the president, who will attend the game. Last year, president Biden declined the invitation. He also skipped it in 2023. This year, Fox News anchor Brett Baier will handle the duty as part of the pre-game:

What a treat for viewers. The Prez can tell us how the Gaza Strip can host the Super Bowl in 2027...
 
For decades, I've avoided watching the halftime show at all costs. I will avoid watching the pregame show with the same fervor.

DJT probably has an opinion or two to share on this year's halftime show and the guy whose company has been running the thing for the past few years. If he does take a shot (figuratively) at Kendrick or Jay-Z, perhaps invoking "DEI," will Fox edit those remarks out when the interview airs?

My expectation is he'll have something to say about his predecessor skipping the opportunity for the last 2 years, as well as a comment about "deceptive editing" at CBS. You can bet Fox will be careful how they edit this interview so as not to attract the new FCC chairman.

To show that everything has perspectives, about three decades I have taped the Superbowl so that I can skip the game and see the ads and the halftime show.

The game itself became an afterthought decades ago. Bloated pre-game coverage, celebrity interviews, commercials, halftime show, and endless promotions for other programming took over long ago. Skipping over game highlights is easy. It's harder to find them.

The actual amount of live action in a 60 minute football game is only about 13 or 14 minutes. The clock runs in between plays. Add commercials and you get to 3 hours or more. The Super Bowl is American Excess at its finest(or worst)...😑

It's one of the few occasions that sports programming gets to significantly expand its viewer demos beyond men. The celebrity stuff, the halftime show, the cute/funny/bizarre ads, the promos for new series with appeal to women -- that's all in the Super Bowl TV package to make sure the wives and girlfriends who have little to no interest in football watch this one special game every year. Let the men have the technical playbook talk and gambling-related speculation of the pregame show for themselves. The network and its advertisers just want to make sure that the non-fans will be in the living room as well by 6:20.

The Olympics used to have the same wide demographic appeal, but the strategy now is to super-serve women in the money demos with an overload of figure skating, gymnastics, "rhythmic this" and "artistic that."

A part of it has nothing to do with the programming. Super Bowl watch parties are big social events. The men bring their wives, and if the wives don't care about the game, they hang out in the kitchen within range of the game and could get counted by the PPM.

Isn't that Misogynistic? I thought that more people watch Women's basketball than the Super Bowl these days. Women should be playing in the NFL if they have the ability. Oh that's right, it's unacceptable to notice the physical differences. Maybe Trump will enlighten us on his thoughts on women in the military and sports during his interview. We can learn so much from his wisdom...😑
