Interprut Data

        After seeing the results of my poll I'm not going to lie I was pretty astonished by the results. The reason why is not many students in our class watch football at all. It made me wonder how is America's sport not being watched at least three hours (one full game) a week? According to Huff Post Media, the 2011 Super Bowl was the most watched television broadcasting. "The Nielsen Co. said Monday that an estimated 111 million people watched the Green Bay Packers outlast the Pittsburgh Steelers in professional football's ultimate game. That tops the 106.5 million who watched the 2010 game between New Orleans and Indianapolis.” I took a look at the students in our class and I soon had a possible answer. About half the students in our class were American and the other half Latino. The NFL only exists in The United States, so it makes it harder for people who don't see it as often to become attracted to the sport. There is a Canadian Football League but everyone says it is a joke. According to the NFL, there are, "24 Hispanic-American players on NFL rosters this season. A team can have 53 players on their roster but only dress 45. Things the NFL is doing to enrich other cultures with this magnificent sport is, they are broadcasting some games in Spanish. They are also celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. Another thing was that half the people that were American were girls. There are no women currently playing in the NFL. Some have in college though. There are no Women currently or ever have been in the NFL so girls don't watch it because they have an idol playing or because they are playing the sport.
