Baseball fixed their pace of play issue… football is getting worse every year. Why are games taking almost 4 hours?

Penalties and commercials. Especially the commercials. I could feel it in the broadcast that the producers were desperate to pause the game and show more commercials inside the last 2 minutes but couldn’t

not to repeat everything already said, but yeah flags and reviews and commercials. the *smallest* slack i’d give the league is that there are tangibly newer and more rules and procedures regarding what plays draw flags than in the past, plus the blessing and curse of replay spends more time in review. also late stage capitalism is a hellscape that too

Baseball fixed it because they had a substantial fear the long runtimes were putting off young viewers, the NFL knows their target demographic doesn’t care enough to stop watching so they’ll happily keep raking in more ad money

Makes me even happier that they’re making them out of complete AI slop so they can maximize profit margins 🥹🥹🥹 I love late stage capitalism

Totally. It’s so ridiculous. I can’t imagine being at a national game like this in person. Watch football for 2 mins… standing around for 4

Ya they gotta figure the reviews out for sure. College games have started showing the replay booth discussing the play which is pretty awesome

Tons of truth to that. Baseball’s issue was also purely gameplay wise so it’s not necessarily a fair comparison admittedly. NFL is purely non-gameplay
