They do show the Super Bowl internationally however. I had a client in Brisbane who talked to me about it, as he had been watching it. The international audiences don't have to be fans of American football to take an interest in it for social reasons (the same way people watch sports they don't care about during the Olympics)

OK, but how many markets are Games Awards actively televised in? I believe they have been watched more on YouTube, when I hear watched more than NFL in context of TV discussion I don't think YouTube is the distribution channel, however I followed the wikipedia link and it says "streams" which OK, not how I thought it was being ranked.

If we are ranking on streams however, does this take into account streams of parts of each media? For example streams of Bad Bunny's halftime show, streams of important plays, versus streams of individual awards being presented?

I don't actually care either way, much, since I don't like American football, don't generally like team sports, and don't spend time gaming, but somehow I think the comparison between the two in online streams throws the metrics off.
