Things to Do In Lieu of Watching the Superbowl
Use the occasion to get together for a special dinner with family. Make it a teaching moment discussing with the children the reasons why the family is boycotting the game. Explain the notions of honor and love of country that should motivate Americans to serve the common good and not think of themselves. Tell stories of how members of the family have served the nation and the respect that they deserve. Invite family veterans over to tell their stories.
Use the afternoon as an occasion for the family to study the history of the nation. This might be done by visiting a war or historical museum. It might also include a reading of a text or the watching of a documentary. Study the times of great suffering when the flag has served as a symbol of inspiration. Study the good things as well as the bad. A real appreciation of America should recognize both faults and virtues. It should wish the best for America but also the best possible development of the qualities of other nations.
Use the part of the afternoon of the game to pray as a family for the nation. When a country has reached a point in which the people no longer respect the symbols, qualities and sacrifices of the past, then it is in great need of prayers.
"A boy cannot become a girl and a man cannot become a woman, not even if he shuts his eyes and wishes really hard."

Take the wifey to bed early.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
