    Super Bowl posts worst viewer ratings since 2007

    The numbers are in, and the National Football League’s biggest game of the year — during this season of Covid — failed to top 100 million viewers this year.

    it was a boring game, a crappy halftime and a buildup that did not even get started on the field

    ^ yes and the game just did not go with all the build up and as the score got larger more and more people turn it off imo pro sports in america are just not as great as they use to be too

    The ratings should have been worse. I don’t know of anyone other than die hards who watched it. The casual fan did not care.

    You had 500,000 less viewers this year due to covid deaths compared to last year. And about 40 million more unemployed living on government stimulus checks that have cut the cord with cable since last year.

    you did not need cable to watch this, it was on cbs, but pro sports as a whole in america is just not as good now as in past, too much crap like blm has hurt it big time and people are sick of this on and on every big game now.

    It'll be interesting how much free air time CBS owes to advertisers for missing on the ratings here.

    The only sport that isn't losing viewers, is the UFC. Which coincidentally is the only sport that hasn't gone all woke and catered to the Social Justice Warriors.

    Turns out when you lock people in their homes and not allowed to party, superbowl viewings go down.

    💯 This

    Hockey the only thing I can watch without a bet. It's sad. And I actually like romo and nantz more than most of the others so it wasn't their fault.

    The Mlb-Pa told biden no, regarding delaying the season so 100% of the players could be inoculated.
    Maybe that will help Mlb this year with their ratings

    With internet and digital streaming it’s actually easier to track so you will see how shitty ratings are across all leagues soon enough. People want their sports to be sports, not this political shit.

    way too many other things to watch now so when a game is boring you just flick the channel

    i also think a lot of people are bored with brady winning.
