Voters Weigh in on Super Bowl Preferences
Chiefs or Eagles?
In this week’s "Polling Place," your home for Sun-Times sports polls on the social platform X, we wanted to know which Super Bowl 59 combatant you’ll be rooting for. The team with the whole Taylor Swift thing or the team without the whole Taylor Swift thing?
The team with the whole Taylor Swift thing or the team without the whole Taylor Swift thing? "Pizza," commented @JBIRD1268, presumably with his mouth full.
Halftime Show or Commercials?
Next, we asked which part of Super Bowl Sunday you’re most psyched for: eating and drinking gluttonously, betting on everything that isn’t nailed down, reveling in the halftime show or (nerd alert) watching the ads?
The Results
Poll No. 2: Aside from the game itself, which part of Super Bowl Sunday are you most looking forward to?
Upshot: Who are we? We’re Americans, damn it. We know what we stand for, and that’s inhaling 13-layer dip from a trough long past the first signs of gastrointestinal distress.
The Big Game: Which One Will You Watch?
Last, we asked which you’d watch if you could only watch one: the Super Bowl, the World Series, the Stanley Cup final or the NBA/WNBA finals?
Some, such as @Grifeweizen and @RiisPark99, opted for hockey. Others, like @hapatterson and @grizzlebear14, were all-in on the WNBA. But football carried the day. Come on, you knew it would.
The Verdict
On to the polls:
Poll No. 1: Are you rooting for the Chiefs or the Eagles to win the Super Bowl?
Upshot: Oh, look, the Chiefs are playing for the championship for the third year in a row and the fifth time in the last six years. Aren’t we all beyond excited? No? Apparently not.
Conclusion
In the end, it’s clear that the NFL is still king. Maybe the choices should’ve been harder, like Super Bowl or an offspring’s wedding? Super Bowl or the revelation of the meaning of life? Yeah, yeah, the football game probably would’ve won those, too.
