People will argue... so what? It's on every other TV show and movie anyways... but I think that is also a problem...

I know what you're saying...I just mean: Number one, every football game I ever played in was full of cussing and sweating and getting hurt.
If you've ever been to a game, you also know it's all about drinking and cussing and raising hell.
Yeah, kids watch it. But I also used to sneak around and look at my Dad's Playboy magazine when I was a kid too. lol
I guess they try to make it some kind of happy face family entertainment. But I just never thought of Football and something like Disney (family entertainment) as being one and the same EVER.
I would think that most parents would realize that the Super Bowl or any football game is really meant for adults to enjoy. The fact that kids enjoy violence is just a nice side effect for the ratings. lol
It just seems crazy and backwards that parents were "outraged" when Justin Timberlake pulled one of Janet Jackson's tits out for a second during half time or that you would see a problem with girls dancing and dressing sexy all during the half time of a brutally violent game (and I LOVE football...but it is what it is).
It's almost like we tell our kids in every way that violence is great! Violent sports, violent video games, etc.
But sexuality and/or nudity is BAD. It can't be seen by children EVER!!! Even though it's as natural as breathing air.
Just seems like our society is backwards. And then we wonder why so many people do so many violent things.
Maybe if they were less sexually repressed and frustrated and less turned on by all the violence they see as children...some of these problems wouldn't exist.
