Oh no, I am sure TV timeouts will be gone with this...Gotta find ways to generate more ad money.. Big Business you know!!
What absolutely drives me crazy is when there's an injury, they stay with the game, talking about the injury, but not really showing anything. Then...when the player is finally off the field, they go to commercial timeout. Like...WTH???I go watch Cherry Creek 3-4 games a year and I love how the game is just played. No one standing around, not a lot of breaks, games are the same clock time but way less in actual time.
What would be really groundbreaking is to have QR codes on screens for ads, 4 minutes extra btwn quarters, 5 min extra halftimes for commercials. Then you have the obvious injury and called timeouts.
that’s plenty of time to run commercials during the game and real game breaks.
Alberts has talked about the possible benefits of this, and made a good point about how TV timeouts might not clog early parts of the game as much with it.
Anything that makes the game last longer is good for fans.
75% of us watch the games as entertainment and with friends. I want that to last longer, not shorter. There is a huge difference from a 3 hour game and a game that goes over 3:30.
It is one more beer, 5 more stories, more memories, more fun.
