Hmmmm, I wonder what the demographics were...

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

What hath Kaepernick wrought? Wreckage.

I don’t watch sports to be hectored by intellectual adolescents.

Of course it’s “most streamed game ever” - 2020 brought on most massive transition of population to use of streaming services in general.

Pity (*cough*) NFL gave people reason to not watch.

[Sans-Culotte]

In other figures from Sunday, the 10:39 PM ET postgame premiere of the new version of The Equalizer starring Queen Latifah snagged an audience of 20.4 million.

What a stupid idea for a TV show (reboot).

How many stream numbers were banked racks of computers strictly there to bump numbers?

Big Media already has been caught doing this with “pop star” songs.

This article didn’t mention the this was the first Suoer Bowl with a woman referee. Interesting omission when mentioning there are women coaches on the Buccanneers, and the presumed steps forward for women noted here.

When the players start to respect our flag and national anthem I may watch again. NOT!

[rigelkentaurus]

Just imagine what the real numbers were.

I don’t believe for a moment that they are real. These numbers are generated from Hollywood on behalf of leftist companies for the purpose of setting ad rates of other leftist companies. So these low numbers were the ones they settled on after 24 hours of discussions with various stakeholders making the real numbers significantly lower.

the nfl is dying from colin cancer...

[HangnJudge]

But how many actually paid attention to the game?

How many habitually blanked the commercials
that they would usually have actually paid attention to?

How much after game griping about what a
colossal waste of bandwidth the event was?

[eeriegeno]

Yeah but wait for the re-runs! Viewership will skyrocket, says the commish......

[Tell It Right]

I waited until the third quarter to watch some because I wanted to miss the inevitable racism of the pre-game, halftime, and commenting (most of their woke preaching is in the first half).

[pfflier]

The superbowl game has rarely been "super". It's just another game. My wife and I watched it for the commercials and one notable National Anthem, Whitney Houston's.

This year, we knew the ads were going to be preachy and full of "white guilt' crap. We didn't even bother.

[V_TWIN]

That demonic abomination of what masqeraded as a halftime show sure didn’t help. That was freakin’ weird dude.

[petitfour]

Not believing the numbers

[RayChuang88]

I think:

1. It didn't help that the game was uncompetitive by the end of the first half.
2. Nielsen has serious trouble getting numbers from streaming services and from community viewing.

[A Navy Vet]

I and the Wife watched just to see if the kneeling thing would happen. We also wanted to see Brady beat the crap out of the snot-nose kid. What a wipe out - should have bet the spread because I was thinking something like that would occur.

The commercials were not up to par and controversial. The half-time show was ... what was it? They had some young black singer that the over 40 audience wouldn't know. Besides the over the top lighting display behind him, he had all those mannequins prancing around like it meant something. We laugh all the way through it. It was a mess.

[Newtoidaho]

Didn’t watch it, Didn’t miss it.
The NFL is mostly an afterthought now to me, and I was a big fan for a long time up until a few years.

[Rebelbase]

The total viewership might move up a couple of points were Nielsen able to tally totals from the streaming bootleg sports sites.
