Might as well. There’s not much football in a football broadcast to begin with.
Football is more of a turn-based strategy game than a real-time action game.
I had a coworker that refused to believe it was turn based. I think it broke his brain.
And it's a final fantasy optional megaboss with unskippable dialog.
I used to work for a local TV station as a videographer. We always had to go out and get "highlights" of high school and college sports games in the area. Football was by far the worst, because it could literally take you an hour to get any 10-15 seconds of footage that was usable.
I hated football before that. Now I really hate football.
The bottom half of the pie chart is the reason I can manage to watch it. It doesn't demand constant attention, and offers occasional moments of focused action and excitement during your conversation/meal/game/doomscrolling.
The Live TV and ads are the worst part of trying to watch any sport live though, so I don't actually watch much. Just a couple games the entire year. Actually I bet the superb owl was the first game of the year I watched beginning to end without interruption.
With other sports like Hockey, I can work up the excitement to watch some games if I hear the team is good and they're already deep into the playoffs, lol.
I hate that I love football. Especially if you played, it hard to stop watching. NFL aways had the best camera tech, and was amazing in the 80s/90s. No other show on the TV was nearly as good technically.
I want to know the source for that and if it's actually accurate. It does feel right though.

I took an odd journey to get to this source. The actual graphic posted here is rotated and some of its colors were changed. The source for the visualization is this reddit post which links to the WSJ article. According to comments on the reddit post, the visualization pulled from charts from the second archive link, but I can’t find them in the non-paywalled WSJ article (and I can’t access the original article since I’m not subscribed to the WSJ).
i have seen a few volley ball games with beach balls break out at more than a few concerts....not that anyone was keeping score.
The Wiggles, always stirring shit up. 😤
I'd be up for a few rounds of Chessboxing between sets.
Raw, imma give it to ya, with no trivia
I'd be good with a mandatory Wu Tang set between most concerts.
As a fan of neither team, that Kendrick performance was fucking fantastic.
as someone who's not really into hiphop/rap that much, Kendrick has some fucking bangers, and that show was hype af.
only watched it because conservatives are struggling to shit talk it without outright saying "I don't want to see [black people] during an NFL game"... turns out it was lit. there's a reason they can't really say anything about it without being just straight up racist: "that's not music" - yes it very clearly is & "he's mumbling" - no he definitely isn't and his vocals were super clear to understand to the point that I was surprised how clear it was with all the physicality involved. nah they just wanna say "I don't speak black".
I can't imagine this will reach the right audience, but in the lead up to the superb owl this year I was saying that a great sketch about this country would be to have this giant hyped up spectical where everyone's getting all fucking jazzed up and talking about how all of this epic shit is going to happen and then at the climax of the sketch you get to the actual "action" and it's just a dude flipping a coin once.
That's America IMO, and it's definitely illustrated fully in the super bowl: six hours for ten seconds of actual action interrupted constantly by bullshit and commercials and followed by idiots tearing "their city" apart because their laundry was crowned "world champions" of a sport only played by people in one country.
Advertisers:
Think chief fans appreciated the break tbh
im not opposed
Had a metal festival in town with the gimmick that the bands had a soccer tornament on the side. Great fun.
That might actually make football bearable.
I can see it, Yakety Sax playing the entier 4 minute game.
Like watching a UFC match and a hockey game breaks out.
