I'm sick of being guilted about viewing the Super Bowl and its commercials. So I watched it--so sue me.

- Superbowl ad's ain't cheap. Some of those ad's even entertained me, so I got my share of the pie.

I don't much care that they made some money. So did the ball players and the coaches. And the vendors. Even the little guy hawking sub-standard tee-shirts outside the stadium made a buck.

And, good for them, IMO.

Another BIG winner of the Superbowl every year is the

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE.

Owned (except, I think, for one team) by VERY VERY RICH mostly white males.

The owners of the NFL are truly part of the 1%.
