Super Bowl LIX Guide: 3 Reasons to Watch, and 10 Reasons to Ignore
Topic: Perspective
While Captain K’s Corner aims to keep you up to date on cutting edge matters in the political world, especially those regarding our elections, I enjoy giving practical advice when possible. Super Bowl LIX (59), between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, kicks off this evening from New Orleans, Louisiana.
Here are the top three reasons to watch and the top ten reasons to not watch the big game:
REASONS TO WATCH
I. Trump Will Be There
My guess, especially given that this game is taking place inside the honeymoon period in which he has been moving Heaven and Earth, is that Trump will be celebrated in grand fashion with thundering ovations when he is introduced and when the cameras settle on him throughout the contest. It doesn’t hurt that the game is taking place deep inside friendly territory in the Deep South.
II. DOGE is Running Commercials
Elon Musk, who is gradually building himself a halo for posterity to behold, has reportedly spent more than $40 million of his own fortune on commercials to highlight the massive waste uncovered by the Department of Government Efficiency. I would expect these items to be wrapped in typical Super Bowl commercial hilarity and make even more converts among the citizenry.
III. Football
Stupid kickoff rules notwithstanding, there are reportedly some good football players taking the field in the league’s biggest game. In all seriousness, many future Hall of Famers will be taking part in Super Bowl LIX, in what looks like a pending battle between the Chiefs’ favored status among the NFL Referees Association and the Eagles, who boast the most vicious fan base of all NFL teams.
REASONS TO NOT WATCH
I. Video of Taylor Swift Arriving at Stadium
II. Shot of Swift Arriving in Luxury Box
III. Shots of Swift Waving at Fans
IV. Swift to be Shown Eating Snacks
V. Possible Look of Concern by Swift if Travis Kelce Injured
VI. Swift Shown Attempting to Look Normal Interacting with Humans in Luxury Box
VII. Swift Applauding After Someone Tells Her a Good Play Just Happened
VIII. Possible Flashback segment about Kelce-Swift Romance
IX. Swift On Field Celebrating if Chiefs Win
X. Possible Swift Involvement in Halftime Performance
To play devil’s advocate: there would be nothing more amazing to come from Super Bowl LIX than for Elon Musk’s commercials to show the American people in prime time just exactly who paid for her now conveniently memory-holed endorsement of Kamala Harris for President:
Time will tell!
Seth Keshel, MBA, is a former Army Captain of Military Intelligence and Afghanistan veteran. His analytical method of election forecasting and analytics is known worldwide, and he has been commended by President Donald J. Trump for his work in the field.
I’d rather stay home and drink coffee and read but I’m going to catch the game on a big screen in a local recovery clubhouse. 100 people, pizza, potato salad and brownies, lots of soda. Half the folks in recovery in SoFlo happen to be from Philly anyway so they’ll be motivated…but I stopped watching NFL games in 2020.
Dear Captain K:
There is another reason not to watch: in the past week Commissioner Roger Goodell double-down on embracing (imposing) "woke" on the NFL. Yes, they removed some of visible elements at the end zone, but NFL money is still going to radical groups, and the woke slogans still appear on helmets. And what will be in the (Satanic undertones?) half-time show is to-be-determined.
I have not watched an NFL game since I penned the below in 2017 (link) - which in my humble opinion is still worth a read. I still have not been able to get past their intentional besmirching of those (like you) who wore the uniform, fought and too-often died under our flag.
There is a place for forgiveness and "moving on" - but first the NFL League (Goodell) need to repent.
That said, only because of President Trump and (especially) the rumored Musk ads*, I might have to look into the belly of the NFL beast this one game.
*Praying that is true. What an assume way to red-pill folks whose news consumption is still limited to so-called "mainstream media" (ABC, CBS, etc.). Tens, if not in excess of a hundred million, in one fell swoop.
