Super Bowl Commercials pique political interest

The New England Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons, 34-28, in Super Bowl 51.

“It was definitely the best [Super Bowl], out of the last seven or eight I’ve watched,” junior Oliver Church said.

Other students preferred the advertisements to the game.

“I watched it with a bunch of friends, and we didn’t really pay attention,” junior Alex Schmid said. “We just focused on the commercials.”

Recently, the television promotions during the game have become a cultural phenomenon.

“The commercials were interesting,” Church said. “It was definitely more political. It was pretty obvious, the point they were trying to get across.”
