While the Super Bowl is hyped up in the Unted States-cheerleaders, commercials, halftime shows and all-it is not even on the radar screen in the rest of the world. To give some perspective, I will name some sporting events that are in the world's attention which are happening around this weekend or next weekend.
-The finals of the Australian Open tennis tournament wrapped up this weekend, with Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams the men's and women's titles respectively.
-The Super Bowl is probably not the most internationally watched game of football this weekend. That probably went to the Liverpool-Chelsea game earlier today. Fernando Torres scored two late goals as Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0.
-The Six Nations starts next Saturday, pitting the six best rugby playing nations in Europe against one another.
Just a reminder this Super Bowl Sunday that the sporting world does not revolve around America.

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key shook hands with 120 rugby players without realising his arm was broken in two places.
He had been in pain since falling as he left a stage after a speech earlier in the day, but did not think his arm was broken as he could move his fingers.
The rugby awards event involved "about 120 handshakes with rather large rugby players," he told Radio New Zealand.
An X-ray the following day revealed two breaks, but no need for surgery.
