A thought kicked off by the annual discussion about people wishing the day after the Super Bowl was a US holiday.
In its best year, only a third if the US population watches the game. And right now I'm sitting here wondering about the people who choose to do something other than watch the game. I have to wonder what wonderful things am I missing because grew up in US culture that treats this as an almost religious event.
Weird time to be thinking about opportunity costs, but here I am.
@corlin I've worked with customers in Europe this last World Cup. Company hosted watching parties, manufacturing lines shutdown. Their fandoms make all but the most hard core US sports fans seem like we barely care about sports.

If you ever get a chance. Travel outside the USA, When it is "World Cup" month....
You want to see whole country's shut down, every single person, everywhere, watching or listening to the same thing.
It is amazing !!
