One advertisement and many would say their most famous advertisement was in 1993 during the Super Bowl. just before the kickoff of Super Bowl XXVII on NBC, McDonald's aired "The Showdown" with Larry Bird and Michael Jordan, a minute and a half ad in which Jordan shows up at a gym with a Big Mac sandwich and fries and is challenged by Bird to a game of H*O*R*S*E, with the winner getting the meal.
Sports are integrated into people’s lives. They have a great influence on human society, not only for people’s health but also for cultural development. Different countries like and are good at different sports. For example, when people hear about China, people will think of ping-pong. When people hear about Brazil, people will think of soccer. Currently, the United States is the most powerful country in the world. What type of sports are the Americans good at or like? It must be the American football. In the United States, what professional American football event is the most watched? People have to say that it must be The Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl has a great impact on many aspects of Americans.
Super Bowl 51 included the New England Patriots vs. the Atlanta Falcons. This was the 9th Super Bowl the Patriots had attended. The pressure was on for the Flacons. The first quarter of the game neither team scored. As the second quarter began the Falcons drove several touchdowns, leaving the Patriots behind.

The amount of recognition you could get from being in an ad with a famous corporation is unbelievable. Bands can become big from being in an ad with a famous corporation, such as, "The Shins, a relatively unknown indie-rock band, grew massively in popularity after getting their single “New Slang” in a McDonald’s commercial, as well as a few other movies and TV shows"(Coates). This proves that if an otherwise unknown band gets a deal to be in an advertisement with a big corporation that they could become very popular. If you were a small band looking to become bigger in popularity, then a deal to be in an advertisement with a big corporation or any at all is huge! There are also bands that use advertisements to make themselves known before thinking about the paycheck, such as, "the Black Eyed Peas, focuses on exposure before a paycheck. For years, they’ve allowed corporations to use their music in advertisements...then, in 2003, when Apple unveiled its iTunes store, the Black Eyed Peas’ song “Hey Mama” was the first of the now-famous ad campaigns for the store"(Coates). This shows that an advertisement can help make a band more recognizable, so that they can become more famous. If you wanted exposure to audiences, then starring in an advertisement exposes you to

The most recent sports advertisement I have seen and paid attention were the Pepsi, ‘Hyped for Halftime. The only reason these billboards stuck with me is because there was a billboard everywhere you turned in downtown Phoenix for several weeks leading up to the Super Bowl. Otherwise, I do not watch much in the way of advertisements.
It is alarming to know the Super Bowl also contributes to the largest human trafficking event in U.S. A surcharge could be levied on all Super Bowl events and uses the money to support law enforcement agency for responding and cracking illegal human-trafficking. The businesses that benefit with Super Bowl could do more by supporting the trafficking victims through NGO and other agencies as part of their corporate social responsibility.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once famously said during one of his sermon in Alabama that, “A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true (Selma).”One attempt to live up to this ideal is the documentary created by Chris Rock called Good Hair, but the film is an attempt that falls very short of that ideal. Good Hair itself is poorly made, the facts are questionable or nonexistent, and the tone is almost insultingly relaxed for an issue that is very serious. Because of all of this, Good Hair should be left off the English 122 syllabus next semester.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the 50th NFL Super Bowl here in Dallas, Texas at the AT&T Stadium, home of America’s team, the Dallas Cowboys,” says the commentator. As many Americans obviously know, the Super Bowl is the biggest game of the year in the National Football League and most likely the most watched single game in all of sports in the United States of America. This game is played between the best team of the American Football Conference (AFC) and the best team of the National Football Conference (NFC). As you may know, in football there are many important key players that contribute to team’s ability to win. There is the quarterback: who is the main guy who makes the plays happen, the wide receiver: who catches the ball, the running back: the player that runs the ball and can catch at some times, and many more players out there giving it their one hundred percent every time they step out onto the field under those bright football lights. There is one player though, the unsung hero at times that is not usually “famous” or really recognized in the game of American football, the kicker. The kicker is the one that at times is able to win the game for the team with his ability to kick the football from a long range and into the two posts known as the field goal. This player has the capability to even win a super bowl for you at times with perfectly kicked football going through the field goal. Today, I will be going through the different phases of how the kicker
Of course, the Super Bowl can be considered the most watched television recording in American history. As a result of withholding the attention of such a vast audience, many commercials are showcased during the Super Bowl games, creating a commodity in which those commercials are watched more than the Super Bowl games themselves. A mass amount of viewers can unquestionably be beneficial to advertisers seeking to sell their products and services. However, benefits are not the only things these ads invoke, detriment can occur as well, as seen throughout history among a variety of television commercials. The Coca Cola commercial, displayed during Super Bowl XLVII, is one of the most recent commercials that has been scrutinized. The Coca Cola
To connect to the economic power that generates through the Super Bowl one must understand the historical pattern of revenue, ticket cost, and attendance the game exhibits in the week leading up to the actual showdown. The ticket prices of the Super Bowl are the main catalyst into understanding what every consumer is willing to spend and how much revenue the game brings to that city. In 1967, the first Super Bowl tickets were no higher than 12 dollars and the average price of a home was less than 25,000 dollars (Smith, 2012). In 2016, the average ticket price was 1,325 dollars making a big ascendance from 1967 (Depietro, 2017). Therefore, this also shows how the game has become more popular since it has come into existence and ticket prices
Metamucil – One of my favorite ads from Metamucil is when they use a famous spokesperson name Michael Strahan to gain consumers attention that Metamucil can improve health, if they experience their brand. The product has an advantage on competitive advertising effort because they state, “One small change can lead to good things.” With Michael Strahan is on the front-page advertisement, they are saying that his a Meta user and that it is leading to good things in his life. That being said, the ad is influencing the demand for the market.
