It's equally as boring if your watching it on a TV screen....I sat thru one game and said never again....
But I do live in “Steeler Country” and let me tell you everything stops when they play around here. The people take this very seriously and know each player as if their own family member..... Stores have to schedule staff so all can see at least part of the game, but business is far less for the game going on.....flags go up everywhere....and oh THE FOOD MENU for all the parties galore is off the scale!....Rich or poor they all party hearty here.
And you should hear these people when they loose a game....emotions are high....they actually will scold the players! It's really quite an all consuming event for the people here......not me...no thanks.
I will never understand why so many people get so emotionally invested in something that has absolutely no bearing on their lives.
It's like they've been brainwashed or something.
