The Super Bowl is one of the most famous sporting events around the world and, at the moment, franchises up and down the country are preparing for the play-offs in their bid to make it all the way to the big day and the promise of being beamed from TV screens globally. However, as is so often the case, much of the build-up to the Super Bowl, and much of the fun on the day itself, has nothing to do with the action during the game. Even as far ahead of the Super Bowl as we are now, the event is making headlines across the world, but not necessarily for the football action on offer as there is plenty more on offer other than just the Super Bowl betting odds.
One of the big pulls this year in terms of TV audience is sure to be the Super Bowl interview, which will see Bill O'Reilly of Fox News talk to President Barack Obama ahead of the game. The interview itself is a long-standing tradition and Fox will be hoping to raise the tempo before the game, which will be broadcast by Fox Sports this year. This of course won't be the first time the President has faced O'Reilly, who interviewed him when he was a senator and the presidential nominee for the Democrats. The interview this time around is likely to have a slightly different tone to say the least but will nevertheless be one to watch, although it remains to be seen if Obama will be offering Super Bowl betting tips!
In other news, events are being organised to raise awareness of the massive problem of sex trafficking over the Super Bowl weekend, with the weekend of February 6th in Arlington targeted as a time during which fans need to be aware of the dangers of the more seedy side of major footballing events. Traffick911, a local Christian group, has started a campaign to raise awareness, while law enforcement experts have confirmed that they'll be doing all they can to curb the problems that arise from major sporting events attracting men willing to pay for sex.
