Go ahead, call me un-American.
The sport is like war. Men dress up in several inches of thick padding so they don't KILL each other on the field when they tackle their opponents. I sit through the university games because I know a few of the players, and the school spirit makes it tolerable. But watching football on TV is like torture. I won't even sit through a game for the Super Bowl commercials.
Now, Super Bowl Sangria. That is something I am willing to sit through a game for.
I don't know what exactly makes this Sangria more Super Bowl friendly than others, but I'll take it. On ice, please.
