Using the MLS as the benchmark when it’s not close to the most watched league in the US is a choice. Even moreso when you consider its insignificant % of the total soccer watching pie in the US. That’s like regarding MAC interest as a proxy for the entirety of college football

Sweet summer child might be understating it
:rotflmao: Kids grow up here, playing football and soccer. The kids that grow up playing football, and their parents go on for the rest of their lives watching football games. The kids that play soccer, don't even watch soccer matches. Do you know how I know this? I can't find a damn soccer match on any channel that isn't obscure in this country.

Again Einstein, the NFL is apparently trying to drag South America into watching professional football, but there is zero base to draw from because NO ONE PLAYS THAT SPORT IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD! The super smart people that run the NFL know this. Bad Bunny halftime show was just a ploy to get those 3rd world countries to tune in for the 20 minute show, then throw those numbers at the companies next year for an increase in ad costs. What they didn't factor in, was an alternative show that pulled away a significant amount of people that live and consume in the world's largest market. Kid Rock currently has the #1 downloaded song on the charts. Just think, is next year going to be even a bigger draw if the NFL trots out another "artist" that even the players playing in the game aren't familiar with? If TPUSA makes this an ongoing event, huge names will start lining up and fighting to be the next headliner for their event.

You sweet summer child
Are you denying that millions turned the channel, that normally wouldn't have? Or are you one of those who think American football is going to perform a miracle, and become popular in countries where no one grows up playing it?

How popular is MLS in the USA? And that's with millions of kids pushed into it every year. There are soccer fields everywhere.......world's most popular sport, and can't garner a blip on the radar when they play a match here. Now imagine a country that doesn't even have a football field. That is the fan the NFL is going after. Does their logic of pursuing a growth there by booking some dude who is just popular because they like his music? Might be better off kneeling during the national anthem and embracing Fred who likes to wear a dress.

Well he did sign off on a halftime show that few of the 80K fans in attendance could see or even understand, I imagine he's been fielding calls from upset corporate CEOs all day, with complaints about how they lost 10+million eyeballs for their $15 million, 30 second ad because a shite ton of people tuned away.

All because he thinks the NFL is going to become super popular in Brasilia and Caracas.

Tonight was the first time I've watched an NFL in 12 months. Horrible game and the only entertainment I got was when I changed over to TPUSA at halftime. If I'm the CEO of a company that dropped $15 million on a halftime SB ad, I'm going to be pretty pissed off know 10+ million viewers swithced channels at the half.
Eff Budweiser! Tranny on the can showed us who that company is.
I'm getting more entertainment by reading comments on this board. This game is horrible.

There are 2 sides right now. One is for God, morality, and decency. The other is watching bad bunny. I don’t like country music, but my views are 100% aligned with those that sing it. And Kid Rock or Rob Ritchie’s last song was very impactful.
Amen! "There's book in your house, that could need some dusting off..." hit me like a ton of bricks.

Kid Rock just made me tear up a little!

Lol. But thos isn't about language. Lol
Kinda dumb to book an artist to sing to a fanbase that doesn't speak that language.


Then again.... , I couldn't understand anything Kendrick Lamar sang last year either.
If your thing is beaches and views, just go to the Caribbean. USVI is very safe. First time I went to the beach in SoCal, I was severely disappointed. Growing up in Alabama and going to the Gulf Coast spoiled me to some extent. I would look into St. John or St. Croix.

Ummmm.....they are on the field. If you happen to be deaf, and attending the SB, you have no idea what that dude is signing. They barely showed the dude on tv.

Virtue signaling at its finest.

The Who, Sting, U-2,Rihanna and Paul McCarthy are a few of the previous half-time performers at the Super Bowl that weren't U.S. citizens
What language did they sing in?

Ask a Puerto Rican on the island if they are Puerto Rican or American.

That’s reality. While they were granted citizenship, they generally do not consider themselves Americans.
We should give PR back to Spain, but I seriously doubt Spain would take the gift. Huge drain on taxpayers and provide zero benefit.

Just look at what happened to NASCAR.
EXACTLY! The NASCAR model should be taught in all marketing classes. Disenfranchise your base, and prepare for the mass exodus coupled with less revenue.!

Football is a manly sport. It attracts the fan that wants to see the human male performing violent acts upon other manly males, trying to dominate them physically. Football fans sit on the edge of our seats, waiting to see just who gets the upper hand,......... now, with a break in the action, we are given a 180 and get to watch a dude sing in a language we don't speak, while wearing a dress. A dude that goes by "Bad Bunny".
quote:

Everyone i know has been to mcdonalds. Not a single fricking person has ever heard of bugs bunny before the super bowl announcement. His music is terrible and majority people can't understand a single lyric.
He sings in Spanish. Wonder how many NFL players are fluent in Spanish? I would guess that number would 1-2%. If the NFL's plan is to try to go global, turning off a massive amount of people in that compose the largest consumer group in the WORLD, is a huge mistake.

I hope Turning Point is prepared for the amount of traffic they are about to receive.

Dude

A rock band of guys 60+ isn't a halftime act for the Super Bowl
How old was Prince when he put on the greatest halftime show of all time?

Bad Bunny and his ilk are a flash in the pan. Symphonies cover Mettilca . Hell, bluegrass band do too! Enter the Sandman in the song used to come on the field! If the NFL was serious about eyes on a halftime show, Metallica should be near the top of the list. Instead, we are trying to get people who do not speak English to watch a sport that isn't even played in their country.

If Roger Goodell is trying to get viewers to change the channel in the largest consumer market in the world, this is a great plan.
