superbowl psychology (noun) : psychobabble around the championship game of the National Football League, the premier association of professional American football
_______________________________________________________
Since Freud wasn't around when the superbowl started in 1967, there's no complex or condition with a cool name associated with the frenzy around this game. From superbowl parties to the ratings of the television commercials played during the game, the field is ripe for psychoanalysts.
And Psychology Today doesn't disappoint: 'superbowl commercials and the castrating woman.' While the author tries to make her point using the television commercials from 2010, it’s worth a read before Sunday’s game to see whether you can spot a similar theme!
And on behalf of my brothers (and because I would hope that if the Jets had to lose, then they lose to the Superbowl champs), go Steelers!
