111 million people is not the majority of the U.S., much less the world. Compare what the majority considers real football: the world cup (500 million to 1 billion?) Or the moon landing (14% of world population at the time or 530 million). http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_watched_televisi...

Also, compare YouTube for really big numbers...

So you're basically saying that you have to beat the world cup or the moon landing in order to say that somone cares about [event]? Seems a bit of a high bar to me.

Whereas if you're just talking about the word 'majority', it's interesting that you consider 14% to be a majority.

I didn't literally mean to say that a majority of the country watches football. Even if I had (incorrectly), It wouldn't change the fact that it's a huge portion of the country watching the same thing at the same time. And as for "real" football, that's really neither here nor there.
