Australian football fans have been left amused after NFL Super Bowl commentators on ESPN referred to McDonald's by its Australian nickname 'Macca's'. Aussies have been referring to the fast food chain as 'Macca's' for decades, however Americans are known to call McDonald's 'Mickey D's'. Audiences in Australia and New Zealand are receiving exclusive coverage from ESPN's Monday Night Football commentators Steve Levy, Brian Griese and Louis Riddick. During their live broadcast - taking place Monday afternoon Australian time and Sunday night US time - Levy, Griese and Riddick spoke about the recent bushfires burning in Perth. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 on Sunday in front of a limited crowd due to the COVID-19 pandemic to become the first NFL team to win a Super Bowl on their home field.
