You have to remember, Africa isn’t all refugee camps, they also have cities just like we do, it may not be as big as let’s say...New York for example. What we see on tv is what they try to make Africa out to be. Who knows, they might even have better wages, and bigger houses than some in the US. The countries have no connotation to it. It’s the fact that other countries aside from Canada aren’t able to watch the Super Bowl. The numbers may matter in some sense, but if US football was one of the sports we played in the olympics/World Cup. I think people may watch it because it’s a little more entertaining than soccer/football (for all of those who call soccer football.)
Chelsea vs Manchester City. They are "giants" in Europe; they have spent hundreds of millions of pounds over the last decade to remain competitive in all competitions and have garnered a reputation about them. This game could've effectively decided the premier league. As both teams also have millions of followers all over the world, especially in Asia, it's completely reasonable to assume that 615 million viewers watched it.
Actually guest is right. Chelsea vs Manchester city was a huge game. In fact NBC (not NBC sports) and had a crap load of viewers. (Also I'm american so I saw here in the states)
The Super Bowl is just for Americans
