Why is the “the big game” so much bigger of an event than the Finals of any other sport?
I think that question can be argued. My grandmother would tell you that there is no greater game than the World Cup. I personally think more people follow football just because they only have to watch their favorite team play once a week and it falls on a Sunday. It makes it easy. You can spend family time, BBQ, and watch the game without worrying about getting off of work early or getting stuck in afternoon traffic. So by the time the big game comes around, more people have been following the season. Not to mention, I think football is just all around a sexy sport, I mean really. Seeing a bunch of hot sweaty men in tight pants trying to rip each others heads off... who wouldn't want to watch that?
