Why do americans need so many ad breaks during nfl games?

[Pat McCrotch]

Genuine question?

Is it because the Tv Networks are so greedy for ad money?

Is it because Americans are so fat that they need to eat constantly?

These nfl player's have it so easy! Timeouts, ad breaks, 2 minute warnings, flags, stoppages, they hardly touch the ball.

football players(soccer to the yanks, dunno why they stole that name???) play for 45 minutes each half non stop,

Rugby players play for 40 mins each half non stop

Why cant the nfl play non stop for 15 mins each quarter? then have a break?

No one on the planet except yanks would allow this!!

You got it right with your first guess, none of us wanna watch commercials.

[darrell74]

Kind of obvious! Stations need the ad revenue to pay for their expensive NFL TV rights contract, which trickles down to the teams and players.

Fatass Americans also need the breaks to grab more unhealthy snacks and make frequent trips to the restroom.

When else are we going to have time to wipe the pork fried pig bellies off our fingers?

Mostly to take a piss and get another beer.

I only watch on DVR or during the noon Sunday games when I can flip between several games.

Last night I tried watching SNF live because it looked like a can't-miss matchup, but I turned it off after one possession.

you europeans are dumbasses. what is this the 90's? no REAL AMERICANS watch ads, we have technology that allows us to skip thru the ads, I know this is a foreign idea to you dumbasses. the real america is the successfull people, the people making money off the fat lazy fuks who do nothing with their lives. yall just pissed cuz your economy blows dick, and your women are ugly and if they are hot their teeth are penetrating crooked as shit. eat less sugar and brush ur penetrating teeth. watch a real sport like football, your all just pissed you didnt come up with idea yourselves and have to settle for watching strategically/physically inferior sports like soccer and rugby.....have fun with all our leftover shit, cuz we all know us rich americans get first dibs on all that is great in this world.....

Follow the money.

That's one reason I"m a big college football guy. There are about 1/3 fewer commercials in in bigtime college ball.

Try watching cricket in India. Much more commercial intrusion.

Wrong question Pat:

Why do Americans need so much football between ad breaks?

[paco]

Soccer players stand around and kick the ball side to side 88 mins of the 90 min match and flop the other 2 mins

Thats why the NFL Redzone channel is the greatest thing going.

No such thing as commercials

Was just about to say "What commercials? That's what Redzone is for."
