Damn right I'm mad. First year in the last 5 that I won't be attending the superbowl. FML.

No no no. He means people in the UK are nobodies and nobody cares about them.

I have better things to do than to watch a bunch of blokes play eggball.

Why would I care about such stupid shit?

40 millions people in the uk don't watch it lmao. where did you get that statistic from?

Research guy @ NFL Films this past weekend.

He said between 30-40 million UK viewers watch the game live or a later rebroadcast.

that is flat out wrong.

apparently, 20 million people in the UK watched the final of the world cup.

http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/jul/14/world-cup-final-viewers-germany-bbc-itv

football is honestly a million times more popular than American football in the UK.

if 40 million people were watching it, around 2/3s of the population, I'd think I'd heard about it a bit more than about 1 advert on channel 4 every year.

there is literally no way more people are watching the superb owl than the world cup final.
either you've remembered the wrong number, or that research guy is just wrong.

Notice how I said "later rebroadcast". Obviously 2/3's of people in the UK aren't going to watch something at midnight on a sunday.

The LIVE numbers are low because of how late the game is on in the UK.

Like?

yeah, they're not watching the "later rebroadcast" either. Nobody talks about the superb owl. Like I said, all I ever hear of it is 1 advert on channel four. If it were being viewed twice as much as the world cup, I'd hear a lot more about it than one advert. 40 million is wrong.

Maybe its just the people you talk to that aren't interested in the Super Bowl.

30-40 million for both the live and rebroadcast seems pretty spot on to me.

The NFL regularly sells out every London game (usually 2-3 a year). People might care more about soccer, but they still do care about the NFL.

lmao.

i know a lot of people interested in sports, and I read sports news every day. No one has mentioned, hell it's not even on the BBC Sport homepage, then only way I could find it was searching by NFL.

30 - 40 million is completely wrong. you do realise like only 30-40% of Americans watched it. whereas 40 million UK viewers is like 60-70% of brits.

you've got to be completely retarded to believe that. i don't get what you're having trouble grasping. American football isn't popular here. The vast majority of the population won't even know what the NFL is.

maxing out 2 to 3 times a year makes perfect sense. it's a rare event, and people from all over the country will go down to London to watch it if they're interested in it.

40 million is wrong mate, completely wrong.

lol

probably not
who is playing?
