Super Bowl 60 Boycott: Fans vow to skip Patriots vs. Seahawks "Brutal" matchup



That is the growing refrain across social media tonight as a significant contingent of NFL fans announced a total boycott of Super Bowl LX. Despite the high-stakes drama of Championship Sunday, a vocal portion of the football world appears ready to change the channel on the NFL's biggest stage, citing frustration with the final matchup.

The boycott threats follow a day of hard-hitting football that finalized the pairing for the Lombardi Trophy. The New England Patriots secured their spot first, edging out the Denver Broncos in a defensive 10-7 struggle to claim the AFC title.

Hours later, the Seattle Seahawks emerged from a high-scoring NFC battle, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 31-27 in front of a raucous home crowd. The two teams are now scheduled to meet at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday, February 8.

And I suspect those who say they won’t watch probably will be watching. And if not, who cares? I’m not a fan of either team, but I’ll be watching. And I couldn't care less about the halftime show.
