I heard they pay taxes and still can't vote. I wonder if they truly have taxation with no representation, while rednecks still complain about the show.
This is so beautiful. Nationalist company owned by a bunch of billionaires made tons of money by selling their exploitative game to the leftists. Makes you realize there's still hope. For the billionaires to get away with raping the planet.
I mean getting more than a 3rd of the population to watch anything at the same time is pretty much impossible at this point. The Superbowl in the US is the closest thing to a unifying cultural moment but the monoculture still continues to fade.
Thinking that's low is insane. What other thing can you get more than 1/3 of the nation to participate in? Personally, I didn't watch it, and I never do. From my perspective, 1/3 seems high, not low.
It typically costs to watch it. I saw it live from Nashville's local Hispanic channel though, only by chance did I see it, and thought it would go off right when the game started. I still have no idea how they got the Super Bowl for free.
Maybe they have the music taste as me? I could identify Joakim Broden, Hulkoff, or Danheim but show me any American artist since the early 00s and I don't know jack.

just for fun here are those numbers on a bar chart in a spreadsheet - looks like the graphic is decently honest in its depiction

Boy, those racists sure were right. Clearly nobody wants to see Bad Bunny at the half-time show.

He speaks in funny scary language and is unmureican.

This halftime has been great for the amount of self reporting of people who don't know Puerto Ricans are Americans. 🙃

My pilates instructor argued with me for a good ten minutes. She was convinced PR was a different country.
Me: It's just like the US Virgin Islands
Her: Well that makes sense, they are the US Virgin Islands
Me: So if Puerto Rico renamed to "US Puerto Rico", only then would they be part of the US?!?
Wow. Just...wow.
EDIT: I was wrong. USVI residents are US citizens but USVI Nationals (whatever that means). Puerto Ricans are US citizens AND US Nationals.

Ohhhh so that's why people were playing football at the bad bunny concert lol.

I might be wrong, but doesn't every increase since the big Rihanna spike* in 2023 correspond with overall population increase or less?
Either way, the main point that the fascists were laughably wrong about nobody tuning in of course very much stands 😁
*I was in a band called Big Rihanna Spike. We mostly played Rage Against the Machine covers and punk songs about Bahamian cuisine.

You've piqued my interest.

The viewership growth between 2023 and 2026 is 11.9%. What population grew more than 11.9% in 3 years?

Wait, that's 38% of the US population. That's actually way less than I would have expected with how much it's hyped online.

The most shared cultural event in the US is sitting on a couch, eating junk food and watching ads for 4 hours.

I wonder if that counts those of us who watched it after the fact on the official YouTube posting?

Shakira, J Lo.
The Weekend.
Dr Dre, Snoop, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar.
Rhianna.
Usher.
Kendrick Lamar.
Bad Bunny.
All of that is without googling. These are very big names, man. You didn't recognize J Lo? Really?

Curious how those viewing numbers are tallied nowadays, given over-the-air, cable, DVR boxes, streaming, digital DVRs, overseas, etc.
Siethron@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 187d
They track our phones and get a count of how many phones are near a TV or streaming service with it on.

I feel like these numbers only mean something if you weight them by the superbowl viewership.
Its not like 120 million people are turning on the tv just for the halftime show. Looking up online, it does seem like several million extra people do tune in for the halftime show, but also the numbers track pretty closely to the superbowl views - https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/super-bowl-2026-watched-seahawks-patriots-viewership/b0c14c1c15663b99ffd35db9
