Except that unlike /r/kafka, they could have chosen /r/superb_owl. Someone obviously wanted to make a joke by grabbing "superbowl" before the football fans could.

That's hardly a justification for either side, though. The Kafkas could have went with "/r/franz_kafka" and "/r/apache_kafka" and there wouldn't be any problem.

I think it was deliberately tongue-in-cheek since the nfl is notoriously litigious when it comes to the use of "super bowl".

Pretty sure all the cute owls is what makes it so great. That's just the cherry on top.

But, that wouldn’t be a joke though.
