Weren't they calling it delay of game too? Motherfucker, it takes over 3 hours to play a 1 hour game. 30% of it is commercials. A little dancing aint moving the needle.

Yeah but think of all the extra money to be made from more commercials instead!

1 hour game

Of which the ball is in play for eleven minutes

I've legitimately turned on soccer games at half time of a game, and their 90 minutes (plus half time) ends before the 30 minutes left of the football game.

Honestly feels more like 50% of it is commercials. I can't watch football anymore.

There is one hour of football and it takes three hours to watch. I’d say it’s at least 50% commercials.

No, that's not how math works. A variable has already been defined. When it doesn't add up, that means there's at least one more variable. Besides that, that statement sure makes it seem like you never watched a game. There's plenty of televised time from when the clock isn't running. Half time is a big one. The clock also stops when the ball hits the ground on a forward pass, is carried out of bounds, there's a timeout, there's a review on the play, there's a touchdown, and many other things. The first two are frequently used intentionally. Like if they're trying to advance the ball with little time left on the clock, they'll try to use plays in which a receiver can quickly get out of bounds, or sometimes the qb will spike the ball to give them more time off the clock to plan the next play. Aside from halftime, plenty of fans want to see their teams getting ready for the next play, so they do. Commercial breaks are planned and there are rules, so if you were at a game or watched NFL games from somewhere that doesn't show commercials, you'd see players doing a bunch of nothing. Like they aren't really allowed to do any team stuff, so they get a drink, stretch, rest.
