Superbowl: a relic of modernism?

Denny Burk wants to abolish the Superbowl:

Am I the only one who can see how ridiculous it is to end the season with such ironclad certainty? The whole season is decided by the players on the field. No one else gets a say as to who should be the champion. Neither the coaches nor the media get to vote on the matter. There are no computers to help determine who should come out on top in the end. The current NFL system is intolerably oppressive and imperialistic. Fans and players are forced to recognize as champion the one team that wins out in the playoffs. The whole system smacks of the outmoded “certainties” of modernism. We can do better than this.
