Last night, the NFL announced that on average, 13.6 million people looked at the first night of the draft.
Although this number is not below the typical match of the first season, it reflects domination compared to other sports.
Consider only a few examples.
First of all, the Sunday public for the Masters – which has been one of the most convincing days of the tournament for years – on average 13.0 million viewers.
Second, the NBA 2024 finals between the Celtics and the Mavericks were on average 11.2 million viewers.
The recently completed NCAA male basketball tournament reached an average of 10.3 million.
While 13.6 million still represents approximately 10% of the Super Bowl audience, it is more than enough to prove that a football event that involves no real football game cannot stand out from other real sports.
What other sport can bring something like that for something that does not involve a game? He underlines the fact that the NFL is the king of all sports in America. And this helps to explain why the NFL remains hell on world domination.
