It's mostly a USA sport, but I would wager you that we don't think the Super Bowl is the world's biggest sport event.
It is, however complicated, because it's not just a single game.
The NFL teams go through the regular season, split into two conferences: the NFC and the AFC, and they are in turn split into 16 teams each.
The NFC teas and AFC teams play teams within their conferences, for a total of 272 games for the NFL during the regular season, and then you have the playoffs with 12 games and the big game: Super Bowl.
Average regular season game is close to 15 Million viewers, 50+ million for the playoffs, 70+ million for divisional and something like 130 million for the super bowl.
And it gets more complicated, when you take college football into consideration.
But I'm sure you're going to find someone in a red state who thinks that the Super Bowl in the world's most important sporting event, just as I'm sure you will find someone outside the USA, who thinks that American Football is all about a single event: the Super Bowl.
