Soccer lacks a great business model for TV? Someone'd better tell Sky Sports!
- sokoloff 10y agoSpooky was presumably referring to American Football, which is wildly popular but faces some significant questions about the long-term safety of the sport to players.
- Spooky23 10y agoI should have clarified for American TV. They haven't figured about a way to pause a soccer game long enough to run 25 minutes of commercials per hour. Baseball is particularly good example of how they do this. Go to a major league game and things randomly stop... A lot. Go to a minor league game, and they are in continuous motion. The games are usually much shorter. American football is a tv show that involves a ball. As TV goes, so does football.
