Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Life is nothing more than sleeping, shitting and dying.
You can attach that pessimism to anything... But in reality, the Superbowl is a celebration and something millions of people to look forward to. It brings a large group of people excitement and half of them happiness
Why take that away?
Why?
How about: Taxpayers paying to build stadiums that they cannot afford to buy seats in just so an already disgustingly profitable private company can have a huge subsidy?
At no point in my post was I disparaging anyone who enjoyed it. You do you, friend. I was just giving my unpopular opinion on why I don't care for it.
oh yeah, I'm just responding to it?
but, when you cut down shit to something like "Star Trek is just a bunch of rich people role playing for nerds" or something... I do think there is subtle disparagement, right? Doesn't mean it's wrong to have an opinion.
You're right. He is disparaging the Superbowl by using the words "nothing more than". It implies that the Superbowl is low, base, and common (which is generally true). But it also implies that he's above that; he's better and more intelligent because he doesn't watch it.
"Pro athletes are richer than the average person" isn't an unpopular opinion. "Championship ads are expensive" isn't unpopular either. His real opinion is "I don't like the Superbowl and that makes me special." That's not unpopular, it's just boring and false.
maybe OP is a lions fan and is pissed they choked in the playoffs
Bread and circuses.
Ayyy that's a good fucking reply.
If circuses weren't important people wouldn't be complaining about the Netflix crackdown.
There's a pretty long list of reasons why professional sports, and especially the NFL, shouldn't exist. All I can do is not contribute. If trogs want to waste their money muh teeem, I guess I don't give a shit anymore.
Do you believe entertainment shouldn't exist?
Would be cool if it wasn't any rapists. Would be cool if there weren't brain injuries on live TV every season. Would be cool if the 750 mil public subsity Vegas spent on the sb stadium went to a more underserved community.
Some of those catches are fire, though. Worth it.
You know what they say about opinions…
