How can it be over-covering to have commercials reflect the rest of America. Get a life and worry about something important such as all the childhood poverty in this country.

Yep childhood poverty would be a thing of the past if Mom and Dad had jobs. As a side note I enjoy living in "the least diverse bubble in the country".

I really enjoy watching commercials ONE time each year - SuperBowl. In past years there were some extremely enjoyable ones. This year - IMO - so very underwhelmed. Seems so many were targeting Millenials et al. The only one that stands out for me is the GM elec car/Norway commercial with Will Ferrell.. Almost ALL the others...thumbs down. However we did notice one thing. Let me phrase this politically-correct-like. The vast majority of commercials seemed to be over-covering the race-thing. Nothing wrong with that, but - are we the only ones that noticed that?

Perhaps the word "Harping" might be a good one? You cannot change anyone's heart by lecturing and criticizing. I have more to say, but do not want to get in trouble. Again.

I agree with you in regards to majority of the commercials. I did like the one about the woman receiving the phone call telling her they have a daughter if she could adopt from Siberia. The unfortunate part is the girl had a rare leg disease and would have to have her legs amputated. Sad you would think at first. But the lady was positive and the young girl ended up being a Paralympic athlete in swimming. A good story.

Disappointed
 
I watched the game with my 27 year old son and we were disappointed in the commercials although we both laughed at the GM “No Way, Norway” Will Ferrell one. When the halftime show came on, I had to ask my son, “who is that?” He explained that The Weekend had a few hit song last year and started singing along... okay, I guess I get it... appealing to the younger generation.... but then the whole face mask people showed up. That was disturbing, which even my son admitted was kinda strange. What made me finally head out for a drink refill was the singer’s run through a fun house on a selfie stick which put my vertigo into overdrive. It left me feeling nauseous, much like the commercials which lacked a modicum of creativity.

All this talk about the commercials and there meanings , I went to things on my phone or texted with friends when they were on , I don’t think I actually noticed what the commercial were , I really couldn’t have a conversation about any of them I only care about the football and I didn’t have to see them to know that people who are complaining about to many black people in ads it’s probably because they were very under used for years , it’s seems we can’t have a sporting event without the complainers talking about anything but the game Relax Take A Break Breath Enjoy The Game can’t wait for baseball opening day and waiting for the complaints to roll in

This is much too logical and more importantly SANE.

You understand and get it.

Not a great game from many perspective, but as just retired season ticket holder.......made the year quite a bit better.

Amazing how, on both sides, we ruin things based on skin color.
