Ok. Maybe time to draw a line below the thread of patting ourselves on
our backs for being weird...

Indeed. We must not lose sight of the fact that there
can be good
points about 'the ball'.
In days past, whenever I happened to have either been dragged over a
house with an active super-bowl party or so unfortunate as to have
stumbled into one, I have been happy to drink the beer and /delighted/
to eat the snacks.
And then finding literally /anything/ else to do, such as playing with
the Dog, snooker, the kids and helping the house Mrs. to clean up.
The conditions of satisfaction for the 'bro's are that you claim to
inhabit a male body and have active respiration, heartbeat (or even
having a heart) being unnecessary. Being coherent or even conscious
appear to be optional. It's fine to be passed out drunk.

Super Bowl Sunday is my favorite day to go shopping, assuming I need

Funny you should mention that.
For several years, the only time I noticed that the super bowl had
happened was first, during my morning commute, after the game. There
would be a rather large number of individuals (all men, it seemed),
lovingly going over each particle of activity, never coming to any
conclusion, but never getting tired of it, either. It was the same
thing coming home. However, this was certainly better than them
yelling, but either way, my earphones went in and I worked remotely
via cellular based VPN.
At work, football analogies abounded for a few days, which I often
needed to Google, having not paid any attention whatsoever for the
other 364 odd days. I eventually found that knowing the terms was
unnecessary because the people using them weren't saying anything
that a technologist needed to hear. I could concentrate
multi-tasking on something else.
I adore being weird.

As a person who spent the first 1/3 of his life being criticized for
being interested in technology and furthering our understanding of
the universe, rather than (for example) watching grown men chase a
ball around in the grass, I'm sensitive to the word and it's most
common connotation.
