I don't think anyone would argue that content captured on a 4K camera will produce a better screen image that content captured on a 1080 camera.
The upcoming superbowl might be captured on a 1080 camera but the 4K broadcast from Fox/Tubi will be transported on a 4K signal, exactly the same signal it would be transported on if it was captured on a 4K camera.

Not correct. The signal that Fox will produce will be an upscaled version of 4K, which will be made by interpolating the 1080 data and it will not be an exact reproduction of the live game. Almost every TV expert will tell you the signal produced by a native 4K signal is superior to an upscaled version of 4K, and definitely not the exact same signal. Here is just one expert opinion among many:
"Native 4K" refers to video content that was originally shot and produced in 4K resolution, while "upscaled 4K" means a lower resolution video (like 1080p) has been digitally enhanced to appear as 4K, resulting in a less detailed image even though the displayed resolution is the same; essentially, native 4K is considered significantly superior to upscaled 4K as it contains more inherent detail."
