Might as well. There’s not much football in a football broadcast to begin with.
Football is more of a turn-based strategy game than a real-time action game.
I used to work for a local TV station as a videographer. We always had to go out and get “highlights” of high school and college sports games in the area. Football was by far the worst, because it could literally take you an hour to get any 10-15 seconds of footage that was usable.
I hated football before that. Now I really hate football.
Real football*, not that American shit.
(Association Football but Australian Football is cool, too)
You mean, a bunch of twinks run around for an hour and score no points ball?
Yes which is much better than brain injured dudes standing around and getting dozens of points for 6 minutes of gameplay.
I can’t imagine this will reach the right audience, but in the lead up to the superb owl this year I was saying that a great sketch about this country would be to have this giant hyped up spectical where everyone’s getting all fucking jazzed up and talking about how all of this epic shit is going to happen and then at the climax of the sketch you get to the actual “action” and it’s just a dude flipping a coin once.
That’s America IMO, and it’s definitely illustrated fully in the super bowl: six hours for ten seconds of actual action interrupted constantly by bullshit and commercials and followed by idiots tearing “their city” apart because their laundry was crowned “world champions” of a sport only played by people in one country.
USA super bowl champs yet again, other countries cant keep up 🫵🤣
