No offense or judgement meant to anyone if that’s your thing (to each their own). That’s just how I see pretty much all professional sports - the super bowl is just the poster child for it.

    I think there’s some NFL pass things that allow you to do that, actually, where you can watch everything whenever. A lot of them aren’t accessible from Europe sadly, but if you’re American there’s plenty of options for you.

    There’s also sports anime lol
    That’s how I got introduced to American football, watching and reading Eyeshield 21, and it got me interested in seeing the real thing. Sports anime are pretty cool since they present you with a curated narrative with lots of ups and downs, and they’re usually a lot harder to predict than traditional shounens, since losing doesn’t doom the universe or something. They’re genuinely a nice entry point to sports in my opinion, at least if you enjoy anime already.

      The NFL plus subscription lets you access either the entire broadcast without commercials, an alternate version that’s cut from snap to tackle (and is available pretty quick at least in the playoffs; I watched some late games in the morning before work), or the coaches film (that’s slightly slower).

      Overseas it’s different, but last I was aware it was better and included live feeds in addition to everything else.
