I’m pretty sure they’re talking association football. Gridiron football “matches” (which are called games in the US) are 60 minutes of clock-on time but more than 2 hours if you count all the ad breaks and clock-stopped time. The 90 minute figure only makes sense for association football. And yes, it’s at least a billion people watching them every week.
oh and the ads run into playtime, so once the commercials are done, they give you a 30 second recap of what you missed, then back to commercials because the coach called a time out
I guess tens of millions of people count as nobody.
Unless they don’t mean American football. That Jacks the number up to probably over 1b
