Super Bowl 2nd to UEFA

The Super Bowl is no longer the most watched annual sports event.

Last year's Super Bowl drew a global audience of 162 million. European soccer's Champions League final between Manchester United and Barcelona drew more viewers, 206 million.

Believe it or not, one year (2005) the third most-watched single event was supposedly the Formula One race in Montreal.

That paragraph is pathetic. "It's possible some World Cup soccer games were seen more worldwide"?!? Plenty of World Cup soccer games were seen more worldwide, other events too.
