Since the NFL's embarrassing loss of viewers during the last SuperBowl game, things have been a bit ugly in NFL HQ. Not only did about half the SuperBowl audience tune to another halftime show (run by patriots and for patriots), a good portion of those people never returned to the game for the second half.
This makes advertisers unhappy.
So, to counter the bad news, NFL starts beating its drums about NEXT season--in foreign countries. NFL says this will be a Big Success, ya'know.
You can tell this was a "Come here and hear our plans" interview. IOW, the reporter is a boot-licker.
The reporter did ask one good question: will the NFL increase the number of games?
Notice how it was brushed aside:
... “The possibility of an 18-game schedule requires more work — it requires alignment and negotiation with the players union — but that opportunity to bring more regular-season football, and in turn the opportunity to play beyond this current number of international games, is something that we’re certainly considering,” O’Reilly said....
IOW, 'We will take the money and to Hell with the players and their silly little injuries.'
We began writing about NFL Greed last year, and we predicted that it will bring about a significant drop in ratings--and further, that the NFL's move to "subscription" broadcasts will backfire. This international crapola will also backfire. NFL will never replace soccer, but WILL alienate fans in the US whose teams are gone for a weekend--and the TeeVee doesn't carry the game unless one pays extra.
Oh, well.

Straight up gaslighting on your part.
Super Bowl LX (2026) averaged 124.9 million viewers, a 2% decrease from 2026.
Bad Bunny’s halftime show averaged 128.2 million viewers from 8:15-8:30 p.m. Eastern. That would make it the fourth-most watched halftime behind Kendrick Lamar (133.5 million, 2025), Michael Jackson (133.4 million, 1993) and Usher (129.3 million, 2024).
I didn’t watch a damn thing
I haven’t seen an NFL play in a few years now
It’s too expensive and the players are pussies
And the halftime shows are crap.
And the owners are greedy bastards
Taxpayers should never finance their overpriced stadiums
Bad Bunny lost 10 MILLION viewers--the largest drop-off in the history of the SuperBowl as reported by Clay Travis, citing Nielsen.
Samba, a real-time rater of SmartTVs, says viewership took a 12% hit at the end of 2Q. The TPUSA show got 11MM households, bigger than the NBA championship game.
Grok tells you that this is a-historical; it is the FIRST time that viewership dropped at halftime in SuperBowl history. Further, viewers did NOT RETURN to the SuperBowl after the Bad Bunny collapse.
Eat it, pal. See it all here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFdXIJ_KEeU&t=4s

TPUSA lost to dogs!!! Hahah
You didn’t disapprove anything I said.
Don't need to DISPROVE your drivel because it is irrelevant.
Learn to spell.
Still haven’t disproven what I said.
First Super Bowl I haven’t watched since I can remember (childhood). Unlikely I’ll return next season….
No big loss. Stay away then. We are better off for it.
Have fun watching a faggotry pushing, pussified, fixed version of “football.” Vegas has been running the script for years, too much to lose. Enjoy your goyslop every Sunday.
