>>158565906This could easily change, if the NFL went for so called "meme plays", where a team passes the football around several players in order to reach the end zone.Because they do the whole qb passes to 1 player, and he runs, there's too much time being wasted to set up snaps
>one timeout per half>ad breaks only when switching possessionfixed it
>>158565906The anticipation for the next move is the drama and exciting part. we're on the edge of our seats wondering what play the coach is getting ready to call
>>158565906I honestly wouldn't have much of a problem if the gaps between plays were used by narrators, other coaches and analysts to explain the strategy and tactics behind the previous plays that happened, but it seems like 99% of the time they only get ads instead. NBA was more like that 10 years ago, now it's 90% ads too and Silver is already pushing for 40 minute games, so it's about to become even worse.
>>158565934>'actual gameplay'>backwards passes and walking around in soccer>not 'actual gameplay'>pre snap motions and audibles and blitz disguises in nflI hate the ads too but this has always been a SHIT metric
>>158566089>>158565906
>>158566089yea, the honest metric would be whenever you see players or coach on the screen it's alright, so even showing the bench and similar stuff counts to the game
>>158565906And thats a very low bar for football, also rugby has like 40min for anyone curious
>>158566089No its actually a great metric, hence why jewish americans are hellbent on breaking halves up and introducing ads. Look at what happened with your diabolical world cup.
>>158565934>16 min playand 3 hours of ads
Playing keepaway is as much gameplay as a huddle and presnap motions.
>>158566020That shit is why American Football is so stupid. Why can't the flow of the game be like Rugby?
>>158566089You know a woman came up with this "stat"
>>158565906>You know only 15% of the chess match is moving pieces.
>>158565906What is the definition of gameplay? Soccer is literally just 1-4 guys actually doing something while the other ~20 are just walking around chatting about shoes and purses until the ball gets within 10 feet of them
>>158565906this is like comparing darts with volleyballit makes no senseretard
Americans getting really rattled lmao
>>158565906The ads are unbearable, but the secret sauce for why football and baseball is so fun IS the downtime in between "gameplay". Before each play in football, you have to make play decisions around the clock, the score, who is in at the moment, tempo, tendency, stats, 4th downs, and a lot of different things. It all then builds to the actual crescendo of the play, that has a high chance for explosiveness. You get crescendo after crescendo and it just feels right. I honestly think the midfield back and forth in soccer is the worst of both worlds. There is no downtime to allow for a structured rise and fall to the tension, and the midfield play really isn't that engaging for the most part either.
"actual gameplay"
>>158565906Extra time for eating and going to the kitchen to get food for eating the food into the oven eat the food and then go to the kitchen for lunch or dinner and then go to the couch for the rest of the day
>>158568625>still refuse to pass it to backfieldsemen slurping sport
They use a bad camera angle which means you have to wait for the replay in between plays to know what just happened
>>158567926Stick to fussball, Hans
>>158565906>Americans being confronted with the fact that their favorite pastime is billionaire-owned franchise slop with the primary goal of maximizing profits>instead of owning up to it or at least saying they don't care since the game itself remains entertaining to them, they seethe about football as alwaysUnfortunately, no one can be surprised. You are all beyond obsessed
>>158565906It gives you a chance to eat snacks and look at the /sp/ gamethread, you know you can ignore the ads right?
>>158570652>you're obsessed because I'm mad
>NBA averages 50 minutes>regulation game is only 48 minutes4% of games go to overtime?
>>158565906redzone chad here not sure what this is about
>>158570652>my billionaire owned sport slop is better rthan your billionaire owned sport slop!
>>158565906>passing is peak sportyour mind on american obsession
