I'm be surprised if it actively bothered you. I guess I was wondering if people considered it an event (like the Super Bowl, as you mention), something that only happens a couple times a year, so maybe it would interest someone to go or at least watch it.
No, the only time the NFL ever comes up in this country is when the superbowl is on. There is probably a very small demographic that watches it all season, but not many people. It is always in London too, so that limits exposure a lot. I just checked and one ticket for the cheapest game is £30. This is another problem because football (soccer) tickets are cheaper than that. Only people who are already interested in the sport are going to go, you won't get anyone going on a whim.
As an example of how much cheaper tickets are, last season you could pay £10 at times to see Newcastle play at home. Granted they were not in the top division last season, but most teams aren't. This season it is still less than £30 even though they are top division again.
Just checked for a random game over here. Cheapest seats for the local team is about $32. So 30 quid sounds about right in comparison.
I just didn't realize soccer was so much cheaper in comparison. ~20 bucks for a major sporting event sounds cheap as hell to me. Of course, those would be nosebleed seats here, too.
And all the talk of Newcastle and which division they're in actually makes sense to me, since I played a little of Football Manager 2017 and understand the relationship between the premierships and the other divisions, and how a team goes up or down between them.
Happens every year, doesn't really bother me. I only watch the superbowl, and even that isn't because of the sport, it is more to do with it being an event that everyone watches.
