Wikipedia: Super Bowl
The Super Bowl is the annual league championship game of the National Football League (NFL) of the United States. It has served as the final game of every NFL season since 1966, replacing the NFL Championship Game. Since 2022, the game has been played on the second Sunday in February.

Origin
Since the turn of the 20th century, college football teams from across the United States have scheduled “bowl games” against each other. The original “bowl game” was the Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena, California, which was first played in 1902 as the “Tournament East–West football game” as part of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses.

This Super Bowl sucks. Same as last year: not even a little bowling. I mean what the fuck.

Why is it called the World Series when it’s just in the US? And why is it called the Super Bowl when no one is bowling?

Why is it called the Super Bowl, when there’s no pins, gutters or lanes?

JUST A THOUGHT:
Why do they call it the “Super Bowl”, “Rose Bowl”, “Orange Bowl”, etc., when it has nothing to do with bowling?
