What does the event actually mean then?

it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

It is a single touchstone which connects us all, irrespective of of who we are, what we have or where we are. The more touchstones a society has the healthier it is.
The Super Bowl actually extends far beyond sportfans and it is not the game which is important, it is the event. Many people gather together and watch the pre-game show and halftime and commericials and may or may not pay attention to the game.
It is a time for everyone to forget about their troubles and pretend that football is something important, if just for a few hours.
What a way to disagree soley for the purpose of disagreement. Sheesh, stop being a twit.

Perhaps "twit" means something to you, that it does not to me. Twit to me is a "play" insult, to indicate mild annoyance, but not anger. The smilie was there for assistance as well.
To me you could substitute:
"Stop disagreeing for no reason than to disagree, Mr. Poo-Poo Potty Pants
The statements are equivalent.
But then again, you could have been just joking

That is anti-American!
I actually looked up the word twit and it means "fool". That was a bit harsher than I had intended. I had never actually looked up the definition of that word.
I figured it could be truly offensive elsewhere. Kind of like you guys use the word "twat" quite casually. Too me, that is one of the most offensive, vulgar words one can cast at another. Fightin' words.

So you are a fan of "non-sports"?
What does that actually mean, then?
