Im Jody Rosen, and Im a contributing writer for the New York Times magazine.
Every week, tens of millions of people in the United States watch football, including me.
I watch football at home with my kid.
I watch it alone.
I watch it under the covers at night on my cell phone.
Its just an incredibly entertaining way to lose yourself for 3 hours.
And ive always been interested in the fact that football is so popular with such a broad swath of Americans.
Its not just, you know, white guys in their man cave, but every kind of person on the demographic spectrum.
But I was also interested in the artifice of televised football, the idea that a tv broadcast isnt just a kind of unmediated document of a game unfolding in real time, but in many ways a crafted, televisual entertainment product.
In big picture terms, it means who wins and who loses, of course, but its also all the little details that make up that larger story.
It's the dramatis personae, the coaches on either sideline, the owners of the teams who are in the luxury suites, all the different star players.
Once I began to focus as a viewer on the technical aspects of the storytelling, I grew curious about the vast labor force that's behind the spectacle of televised football.
