Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I was similarly ticked off by the halftime show during the final. Keep that shit contained to the Super Bowl.
I don’t know why any sporting events schedule halftime shows. Hardly anyone likes them.
Americans that's why
I swear a good number of American sports fans don’t actually like their sports. Everything I hear that’s “good” about the Super Bowl is external and not the actual game
There are 330 million Americans, which ones are you referring to? Because it really depends on the region a lot of the time.
Were the ones you were referring to Americans living in the same city / state of said superbowl team? Or did you just make that up based on some comments you read online?
Baseball fans are pretty ride or die. I think it's the necessary induction into the sport due to the arcane nature of it, similar to cricket fans.
Sure, but they seem to enjoy statistics much more than the actual games 😄
If you liked your sport, you'd be obsessed with them, too. 😉
Nah. I love watching football (as opposed to handegg) much more than obsessing over football statistics lol
It's okay, not everyone can get into a sport beyond just watching it casually. 😉 When you live and breathe the sport, you'll understand lol.
Can't tell if you're joking or being a twat 😄
Dude... you started the banter and now you're getting upset someone is bantering back with you?
I was just playing along in good fun, but that is legitimately twat behavior, dude lol.
My bad, joking it is 😄
It's all good, man. 😁
Yeah we do it in Australia as well and it’s generally b grade entertainment.
We’re actually truly embarrassing at it.
Halftime is for taking a shit. It's tradition.
Or grabbing a beer (or two) and a sausage.
