I think it would make a little more sense if the games didn’t already have frequent commercial breaks and in-broadcast advertising.

  They’d have to re-arrange how the sport works, I think. It’s a whole activity built for broadcast TV with commercial breaks. If they cut the commercials you’d still have just as much time with nothing happening. An improvement, sure, but not great.

    True but not 100% true. If you’re at a game in person you’d see all the times when gameplay stops for no reason purely for an added TV break and the players stand around on the field. Not a team timeout, just literally a TV timeout that neither team asked for. Go to a high school game then go to an NFL game and you’ll see a massive difference.

      Sure but the players need and appreciate those breaks.

        Weird then how they don’t need them when the game isn’t televised.
