The Super Bowl is the greatest game in the National Football League (NFL) where the champions of the American Football Conference (AFC) and National Football Conference (NFC) play against each other for the title of World Champions.
The Super Bowl takes place on a Sunday at the end of every season, and people gather to watch it. Parties are held and many Americans who are not normally fans with attend.The day is often referred to as an American holiday, due to the celebrations.
Recently, the Super Bowl has been the most watched American television broadcast of the year, illustrating the magnitude of interest in the nation. Businesses pay millions to advertise their products during breaks during the game. Companies air their most expensive advertisements (which are often humorous) to entertain the public and encourage them to buy their products.
Despite being a money-making opportunity or a reason for people to celebrate, the Super Bowl brings families and friends together in common interest. Americans feel a sense of pride cheering for their favorite team and enjoy themselves no matter the outcome of the game.
This year, the Baltimore Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in a nail biting Super Bowl. Ravens fans rejoiced and continued the celebration the following Monday.
Football, the all American sport, instills patriotism and a sense of pride in fans of the game. Enthusiasm is never lacking, especially on Super Bowl Sunday, when people gather in celebration of the old American pastime.
