We are not a football watching family in this house. The kids might like it, we don't know we have never watched it with them around. But they are starting to get to an age where they are going to start noticing things like this and it's impact on society. You know the adds and all the hype building up to the "big game." I personally find the games mostly boring and dangerous to play as a child. I dislike the risk vs. reward.
My wife and I have talked at length about if we would or would not let the children play football and so far our thoughts have been no on the subject but that is only because the kids have not expressed any interest in the game it's self. That could be because it's not a big deal in the home. But if and when the kids express interest in the game we will cross that bridge when we get to it.
Instead of doing the whole super bowl insanity thing we tend to have video game playoffs, last night the kids took turns whooping each other on Capcom vs. Marvel fighting game. And the first time my kids play that game they fall into the trap of finding that one cheese ball move that backs you into a corner and just beats you endlessly till they win. We all know the type of move I'm talking about. We had a nice dinner after and story time and then to bed for the kiddos. All in all a great day.
