Both. I have seen a lot of football in my 65 years; went to a game against Rams at Kezar. Growing up in Vegas around gambling I learned the game is not what we think. Outcomes are affected (not fixed) by scheduling, officiating and even start times to favor certain teams so hard to take it too seriously. I view it as entertainment for us but make no mistake about it being a very lucrative business for owners; individually and collectively.
Mainly, it signals the start of fall season and much tradition in addition to giving many people something to discuss in common and hopefully in good spirits. We need that.
