which is exactly why the NFL went ahead with it, despite the backlash. at the end of the day, he was the most lucrative option.

How many of those were rednecks hate-watching it?

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago

Hate watching is watching, and if they're redeemable there was a positive message for them

I didn’t watch the superbowl at all, and don’t even remember who was playing. Since Bad Bunny is hated by assholes, though, I wish him the best.

It would be nice if the article gave some context for that number. What was the previous record? What kind of numbers do Superbowl half-time shows usually do?

You're going to really lose your shit when you find out what country made Star Trek.

Maybe most watched. But honestly, imho there were much better shows in the past e.g. Katy Perry.

The social media reach is what really changed things. during the actual half time it was the normal 133m that it always has bene.
