The Football.....

[Beebo]

Its not going to change. They have deemed it necessary for most games and therefore it will happen in all games for consistency. In isolation doing it in an Air-conned stadium or whilst its raining is a bit daft.

The whole thing is daft. It’s just so obviously contrived to meet advertising requirements. I’m so glad ITV are not playing ads yet.
The solution is to bring on water during natural breaks in play. Or put water bottles around the pitch. No need for a contrived 3 minute break, where the clock keeps ticking anyway.

But, but, but, the rain is really hot, and makes it very humid, ......

,,,,, and Fox want the advertising revenue ....
and US sports are split into quarters because they need burgers and shite beer every 5 minutes......
and USAnians have the attention span of a gnat
