The Super Bowl rebounded to draw an estimated 101.1 million television viewers. That was a 6% increase over the 95.2 million TV viewers who saw the Tampa Bay Bucs crowned as champions. The halftime show starring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Mary K. Blige was a hit.

Yeah I thought that too. Haha. Lots of people swore up and down they’d never watch the NFL again. Seems that was less than truthful.
The peak was 167 million viewers, by the way. I wonder how long before someone comments “what’s the NFL?”
What’s the NFL?
The opioid of the people is alive and well. Useful idiots...all.
In the us?
I didn’t watch 1 second of the game. But I’m an old patriot. I’m not going to watch overpaid thugs spit on my country. If I want abuse I’ll stub my big toe.
I’m sure the people eho are trumpeting the alleged ratings figures would be delighted to see you say that.
First, I’d have to see a breakdown of how that figure was arrived at.
I’d also like to see the demographics.
And I’d like to see any info on makegoods.
Take note that none of that info is on offer.
Then we could have a discussion about how the boycott has failed.
Srsly? I bet they were counted using Dominion software.
You’re right. Me spending a few hours with friends and family watching a game makes me a useful idiot. I’m sure you spend your time in a much more constructive manner, which seems to be judging people from your high horse.
They make it sound like a significant increase, which it isn't when you consider the 2020 Super Bowl had 113 million and the 2019 Bowl had 112.3 million.
I wonder if viewership would have fallen drastically if the players had kneeled during the national anthem.
The second sentence in the article directly contradicts your post.

Now I’m really not buying the numbers that are being trotted out for this one...
The "culture of the mob".
When they move that far away from my own culture, they simply cease to entertain.
I don't know if it was very constructive, but I spent that time watching reruns of "Hawaii Five-O", which I found to be quite entertaining.
Amazingly it somehow turned into a playoff and Super bowl of great games, with comebacks tension, and displays of professional athleticism and spirit. In most cases either team could have won up until the last few minutes. I don’t remember a lot of woke either in the last month and kneeling was ignored. I’m a lions fan and got a Super bowl victory via proxy in LA. Worked at Ford Field in the offices while my stomach twisted, walking past the clean bright field every morning on the way to the elevator. Everyone in town knew Stafford was special. He was given roughly three players of value on the field until they were either ground down to retirement like Megatron, sent off the deep end mentally like ndamukong Suh, or an endless string of running backs who face the same fate as the quarterback with no offensive line. Suh slowed the offenses to give him better field position but neither Brady, Montana, Marino, or Manning would have been more than an average quarterback given 10 years of the semi-pro jokes surrounding Stafford under the Ford family. Brilliant when it comes to cars and trucks, and the community but patently incompetent running a football team.
I watched the game as a lifer lion fan needing some hope, left to make dinner during halftime and was pretty disappointed that the ads were lame this year.The rest of the family just calls anything on TV sports ball with no significance. I think one can be patriotic and still enjoy American traditional pastimes but the money, woke, covid distortions made most sports unpalatable in the last several years.
I was busy cleaning out the garage.
