Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSame here. Just as it starts getting exciting then there's play stoppage for some reason, then a timeout, then a commercial break, and once they start back up again you've lost interest. And it's pretty much a 3 1/2 hour time commitment start to finish. What I really don't get are the guys who watch it all weekend long, every season weekend. Don't get me wrong I enjoy rooting for the Pats and watching a good game. But all day long? That's time you can't ever get back.
I absolutely love rooting for the Pats too but sometimes you just have to realize there are some things a sport needs to fix and for football, it's fixing the amount of time that's spent taking times outs and breaks. The rules also need a bit of changing too

Like most people have already mentioned, I just have an issue with the stoppage times in American football. The rest is ok

Really enjoyed reading that. Truthfully, I don't have the same connection to American football as I do with European football even though I grew up in an American football-loving family. It's weird, I only started watching soccer 4 years ago and I've been studying the game ever since. It's quite remarkable how complex soccer really is without the veil of it actually being complex like American football.

I enjoy watching football more than soccer. Soccer is fun to watch at times but I feel I have a cultural connection to football more.
