ResumoNFL Brazilian broadcasts is distinguished by the interaction of fans through social media. By reverberating television content in another media, they establish the phenomenon of Social TV. The research pursues to respond how Brazilian viewers enjoy the NFL through Social TV. For this purpose, we performed a netnography based on three league seasons, through 2016 to 2019. Results reveal Brazilian viewers enjoy the NFL through Social TV because it propitiates them to participate in the broadcasting, what becomes more important than the games itself. Based on this, we argue that NFL fans and ESPN channels co-prosume a simulation turned possible due to the current mediatized world.
