No doubt, American football is a great game of strategy, skills, mind game and athleticism but why lower it by adding things like Super Bowl halftime shows? To most of the people outside of the US, it feels extremely cartoonish and childish when they mix sports with entertainment. Watching Sports can be extremely thrilling experience and finals of a tournament can get intense. I find it stupid that they break the intensity of sports by adding entertainment artists performances during the game. Same with NBA facilitating army people during the game. Don't mix other things with sports.
It is an attempt to justify charging 7 figures for 30 second commercial during half time of the Super Bowl. If a company paid 5.25 million for a 30 second spot and the NFL ran it during half time, the client would scream bloody murder if it were a normal half time. By having an extravagant half time show, the NFL can keep more eyes on the tv and then justify keeping the same rates.
The real tarnish is how many & how long each in-game commercial breaks are. When your fav team is not playing, the game can feel like an eternity.
