Superbrawl Sunday

If anyone watched the Superbowl tonight, you would know that it was definitely one to remember. First of all both teams that got in didn't really show much class in how they got to the Superbowl in the first place. Immediately after the games were played if you recall, there were allegations made against the New England Patriots for deflating the game ball before the start of the game and the Seattle Seahawks are just a dirty team. They lead the NFL for penalties with a whopping 130 this season and thats not counting all the penalties that happened tonight. 
The game was an incredibly close game. It was pretty intense at my house and no one in my family is even a Seahawks nor a Patriots fan. The biggest craziness of this game would have to be the last 2 minutes. The Patriots scored, putting themselves in the lead and all of a sudden the Seahawks were at the goal line with a strong chance to score. Instead of running the ball, they made the choice to pass it which was quickly and swiftly intercepted by a Patriots player. The game should have ended right there but oh no it got better.
The Seahawks players proceeded to throw some punches and go after the Patriots players. Being pro football players you couldn't expect the Patriots players to just sit back and take it so of course they fought right back and there ladies and gentlemen it turned into a full on Superbrawl 2015.
So i watched the Superbowl at my aunt and uncle's house with them, my mom, dad, sister and brother and let me just say, my house erupted when the last 2 minutes took place. It was unbelievable to see everyone's reactions and as for everything going on on the field, it got so wild and crazy that I have expected someone to leap from the stands and join in on the fighting on the field.
I don't think many players showed great character in the game tonight, and I think it reflected kind of poorly on the NFL. You expect these high payed players to be pretty composed when it comes to taking the field and instead they started throwing punches at one another the minute the game didn't go the way they wanted it to. If you ask me I believe that the NFL needs to reevaluate the way things are going.
