It was the worst ratings in 14 years; since the Chicago/Indianapolis Super Bowl, from 2007.
This year, the viewership was 96.4 million
In 2007, the viewership was 93.1 million
However, this decline over the last 14 years is quite telling, when the is a lock down order in many parts of the country, one would think, all of those extra bodies at home, would clearly want to have something to feel connected.
Then again, since many people who do watch the Super Bowl, do so in larger groups, making it more of a social occasion; there may have been a serious disconnect, as the event reminds everyone how fractured our society is, by distancing mandates.
I'm sure there were certainly many people who chose other activities, because of the "Wokeness" you alluded to. I, myself, changed the channel every time a public lecture announcement appeared, Commercial or In Game Broadcast.
I watched most of the game
[started watching with about 5 minutes left in the 1rst quarter], and have my opinion for what I saw. Though, mostly checked out when the virtue signaling took place.
