It's not too noticeable in person IMO. There might be one instance per game where you're like 'WTF hurry the **** up" and staring at the Man with Orange Oven Mitts but it that's tolerable.

It's dreadfully noticeable in-person in college football, at least with CBS. Staring at the dude in the red hat for an unnecessarily large portion of the day.

There's a lot more hubris in your shitty 'I watched a couple games and am ready to troll like a bauce' schtick.

Zach--advertising in football isn't prioritized over the game. I know this may be hard to understand, but during a change if possession in football both teams have players come off and on the field. After an extra point is kicked, teams have to put their special teams units on the field for the kickoff and the ball has to be brought to the other end of the field. Don't act like just because the clock doesn't stop in soccer that there isn't complete lapses in the action. Setting up for free kicks and corner kicks are considerable breaks in action. All the incessant flopping and whining to officials are breaks in the action. |

So many pricks in this thread right now... this is why USA soccer fans get a bad rep- because of the ****y few who know nil about the sport but love ostracizing it simply because it's the cool thing to do.

Because the people on the other ends of those conversations just wanted to talk about the game in good faith. You were more interesting with your Ghana troll posts.

... And that wasn't really trolling, I genuinely liked Ghana, it might have been a little brash but that was mostly the pre-match endorphin's kicking in lol.
