Shohei Ohtani shares his true feelings about the Super Bowl while thinking about a three-peat

It's impossible for the Super Bowl to go unnoticed by other major athletes, and it's precisely the perfect combination of sport and entertainment that attracts global audiences.

That's exactly what happened last Sunday during Super Bowl LX with the halftime show led by Bad Bunny, one of the most-streamed artists worldwide and a hugely recognized figure in the Latin American music scene.

What does Ohtani think about the Super Bowl?

Now it has been revealed that Shohei Ohtani-arguably one of the most popular athletes on the planet-was also keeping an eye on the details of the big game, which ended with the Seattle Seahawks as champions.

The Japanese superstar shared this himself in an interview with Scott Evans of Access Hollywood:

"Honestly, I don't follow American football much. When I lived in Japan and the Super Bowl was on, I had no idea what it was. I didn't follow any teams. But since coming here, I see the excitement surrounding the Super Bowl, and I think it's really, really cool. Especially that sports culture in the United States; it's like a national holiday when people watch the Super Bowl."

Ohtani said he would likely watch part of the Super Bowl, though he wasn't going to dedicate the entire day to the game the way many people in the United States typically do. One reason his attention may have been somewhat limited is that he is already in Arizona participating in Spring Training ahead of the upcoming MLB season.

Ohtani will represent Japan in the World Baseball Classic, but he will return after the tournament to begin a campaign in which he and the Los Angeles Dodgers will chase a three-peat.
