The Superbowl is the National Football League (NFL) championship game between the champions of the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC), respectfully. This annual event is held at different NFL stadiums across the country. This year’s contestants are the defending champion Seattle Seahawks led by quarterback Russell Wilson and the three-time champion New England Patriots led by quarterback Tom Brady.
An estimated 112.2 million viewers watched last year’s “big game” making the Superbowl the most watched televised sporting event in America. For the players and coaches, the Superbowl is the summation of the season’s long quest for a championship. To play in such a meaningful event, signifies reaching the pinnacle of a career for all involved from the owner’s box to the field. For the fans of the teams that play in the game the experience takes on an entirely different meaning.
Win or lose just making it to the final game of the season is a fantastic accomplishment for both teams and their fans!
The winning team and its fans will have supreme bragging rights for the entire off-season and beyond. Along with a myriad of endorsement deals for the players, the winners will make a visit to the White House to meet the President and also have a ticker-tape parade in their home city. Sadly, for the loser they will be relegated to only a footnote in defeat which is really sour grapes.
