Baseball rules. It helps the game is considerably faster now.

No idea how people stand football with all the constant commercial breaks.

As a sports junkie after the Stanley Cup Finals and NBA finals ends its definitely a dry spot until Football starts. I dont mind baseball but I only watch the playoffs and really tune in until after the All Star break so I really dont give a damn about June/July/August baseball because 162 games is just not interesting in the middle.

Outside of that I only get to enjoy a couple summer golf majors. U.S. open and British open. Plus summer is my least liked season anyway. Hot and humid. Nasty ass thunderstorms are stressful since I work at a power plant. Tornados since I live in tornado alley.

Tv shows are generally on break until the fall and programming drops off. Summer just sucks, but yes especially sports wise.

Baseball has me a little down after the Dodgers offseason.

Feels like this is the worst the competitive spirit of the game has been in a long time after the way the Ohtani deal was structured.

You have to utilize the time to get things done and or nap.

Golf is great for chores, baseball used to be before it sped up, regular season basketball and soccer are good too because of the lack of commercials.

Boxing is the GOAT summer sport, IMO. Mexican fighters have boxers fight around Cinco De Mayo and big fights are typically in November but there are some great fights mid-summer

Yea? Thats the break point.

You have at least 10 breaks in one quarter in football. Either for timeouts, for scoring, or just because they need to an ad break.

A 75 minute game(Taking into account halftime) shouldnt take 3 and half hours to play.

Shohei Ohtani's contract alone is 70% of what the entire Royals franchise last sold for less than 5 years ago

No you don't.

There are 5 required commercial breaks, 2 two minute warnings, and three timeouts, per team. You can very easily reach 10 breaks in a quarter.

You are double-counting things and using wrong numbers. The NFL has eight required breaks per half (not quarter), one of which has to be the end of the first or third quarter and one of which has to be the two minute warning. The other six per half are used up by timeouts, scoring breaks, injuries etc. ALl of those things count towards the required number of breaks.

While you might be able to get to ten, in no way is that the average.

Yeah thats my point. There are way too many points where the action breaks. Its a slog to watch football.

No, but there is on average only about 11 minutes of football actually played, the rest of the time you're just watching commercials or a bunch of guys in spandex and helmets standing around...

I love football but you're not wrong. I love soccer for this reason. Once the game starts there's no commercials. They just make the jerseys look like trash with advertisements, which I just ignore.

Pitch clock to speed up pitches.
If a player is going to be intentionally walked, the signal is given and they are given the free base.
Extra innings start with a player on second base for each team.

people enjoy watching streamers? why don't they just go play the game themselves.
