NBA has always been a nice 2 and a half hours and now so is baseball. NFL is like a 3 1/2-4 hour slog.

They need to let the clock run continuously with a few exceptions like XFL.

It's the penalties and replays and mandatory TV timeouts that eat up the time.

I gave up NFL because they have gone all in on rigging games. The time wasn't an issue I think

You're exaggerating TC. Maybe for some playoff games, sure. But the NFL don't take as long as you claim. If you want really bad, college football games are worse.

Yeah, MLB games are shorter. Let's see if that continues in the playoffs in October.

I had the "pleasure" of attending the shortest NFL game in the modern era.

Rained so hard that the clock was basically constantly running since neither team wanted to pass.

Just seeing how many times KC had to be bailed out last year is enough proof. They even got the first ever fifth down against the Bengals without the refs bothering to call a penalty lol. It's rigged AF. If it happened in the past, at least they bothered to hide it. The integrity of the game is long gone

I had NFL Sunday ticket free for 5 years due to an ISP settlement. Even cycling between games you always have to watch a bunch of garbage ads.

NBA games can go quick if refs would stop calling touch fouls and stop the flopping bullshit.

The flopping bullshit is why I gave up nba. Still watch NCAA of both sports but the professional leagues, ironically, need rigging

If the NFL was rigged, Patrick Mahomes would have never ended up in KC.

Why? Without kelce and hill, he is a nobody. And because all the actual elite QBs were retiring are about to, NFL is desperate to create new stars which, funnily enough, isn't working lol.

Why?

Kansas City is an incredibly small market. If it was rigged, they would have put him on a team that draws more money.

Until the NFL starts losing viewers, there probably won't be any speeding up of games.

You mean Gamblers, let's be honest here.
The real reason the NFL is so popular is because of Gambling.

No, not really.

American football/NFL is BY FAR the most viewed sport in America.

The NFL loves gambling but the viewership base is still insane. NFL viewership is massive compared to other sports leagues. Regular season primetime games average more viewers than most championship games in other sports leagues.

The backbone of The NFL is gambling.
If it was, 'just a sport' it wouldn't see so much money.

NFL football doesn't really feel like a sport to me anyway. It's just stupid to me in comparison to every other sport in the world. Everything about it just seems so nonsensical. Of course that doesn't mean it's not entertaining. I get why it's so popular. But it is pretty fucking dumb.
