People watch three hours of football to witness 11 minutes of actual play. This is why American football is boring and why rugby and soccer are the greatest sports in the world.
- 11 minutes of actual play
- 12 minutes of shots of the head coaches and referees
- 17 minutes of replays
- 60 minutes of commercials
- 75 minutes of shots of players huddling, standing at the line of scrimmage or just generally milling about between snaps
Exciting!
We need more rugby on American television.
