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...
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.
Also, compare YouTube for really big numbers...
