When people aren’t watching talented trans musicians play live on stage or endorsing a local vegan business, the hype around major sporting events like the Super Bowl makes them almost impossible to avoid. In fact, when this season’s game between the Patriots and the Seahawks takes place on February 8, even people who don’t necessarily enjoy the sport of American football will feel obliged to watch it.

FOMO is real

In nations like the United States of America, in particular, the Super Bowl captivates communities. Not only are people wearing jerseys with pride and having a flutter on the big game after assessing the latest DraftKings NFL betting odds, but they’re hosting parties and preparing feasts. Put simply, it’s a sporting occasion that unites people, even those who don’t know the rules of the sport.

Given the excitement that tends to brew around such a massive sporting spectacle, people who perhaps aren’t keen on American football can feel pressured into getting involved in the proceedings. Of course, it’s not a particular person or group of people’s fault, but it just comes with the territory of not being a diehard American football fan when the Super Bowl is on. It’s everywhere, after all. But why should people miss out?

There’s more than just football

Even though attending a Super Bowl party or a local community event based around the big game might seem daunting to some, it really shouldn’t be an issue. Sports fans will embrace you with open arms if you’re wearing your favorite team’s colors or attempting to learn the chants, while it’s an occasion that tends to attract more casual fans anyway, as there’s more to the Super Bowl than just the game itself. In fact, the diverse nature of a typical Super Bowl show makes it an entertainment option for everyone, with all types of people throwing themselves into it.

Halftime show, anyone?

While the more passionate fans of the Seahawks and the Patriots will be on the edge of their seats during Super Bowl LX, the average viewer doesn’t have to be. Sure, the action itself could be exhilarating, and you might find yourself hiding behind the sofa as the encounter reaches its latter stages, but it doesn’t matter if you aren’t. Some people simply struggle to get into the stop-start nature of football, while others just can’t relate to the hard hits the players themselves are executing. As such, other entertaining offerings associated with the NFL’s biggest clash on the calendar tend to be the main attraction instead, such as the halftime show. For millions of viewers, the halftime show is actually the best thing about the Super Bowl. If you feel the same way, then you definitely aren’t alone.

Bad Bunny is making history

Speaking of the halftime show, Bad Bunny is taking to the stage this season. His Super Bowl LX appearance will actually be historic, as the rapper and singer will be the first Latino and Spanish-speaking musician to headline the Super Bowl halftime show as a solo artist. Whether you’re a fan of Bad Bunny’s various hits or not, witnessing the 31-year-old from Puerto Rico perform on one of the biggest stages of them all will be special in more ways than one.

Don’t miss it

So, even with the boisterous NFL diehards you might be accompanied by in bars and at parties, plus the potential lack of knowledge you have around the sport, the Super Bowl is still worth getting behind. Despite the obstacles many people who don’t follow sport tend to face, the Super Bowl really is for everyone.
