Positive messages: Not applicable.
Violence: Football is a contact sport, so there are some videos of some rough tackles.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about why watching professional athletes play a game can be fun -- but doesn't necessarily mean you should try to duplicate their moves in your next game. How can someone get hurt during a rough contact sport? What kind of serious injuries can happen as a result?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
The official Super Bowl site is a football fan's paradise. Fans get an inside glimpse at the Super Bowl media coverage, players, and on-the-field action from last season – without the trash-talking or inappropriate stuff.

If your kid is excited about the Super Bowl, this site will help fan the flames before the big day. And while the event's sponsors and advertisers are pretty blatant, visiting the site shouldn't expose young kids to any language or images meant for much older sports buffs.
