Maybe, but SB commercials have been culturally relevant for ages, at least a quarter century. I remember teachers talking to us students about them in elementary school, which would have been mid-to-late 90s.

To broaden that topic a bit - every time I watch a big football game, I'm reminded why soccer will probably never become big here. Everything about football just perfectly ties into (and has probably influenced) the American traditions of consumerism and excess. Major US corporations probably shudder at the idea of soccer taking over, and suddenly being forced to pump their advertising through a sport where the games are shorter and ad breaks can only be done at halftime.

If it sounds like I'm being strange and edgy, it's because I am. I love the actual sport of football (played it in high school), but the culture that surrounds it often makes me feel gross and self-loathing, like my brain just ate a gigantic brain-donut or something.
