(For the purposes of the below Football = Soccer)
NBA games are becoming less and less interesting to watch. Most of it is at night and lasts for about 2.5 hours (i.e. approx. 150 minutes) of which only 48 minutes is actual basketball and the rest is mostly commercials. So I found it very refreshing to watch a Euro cup football game almost commercial free. I am not a big football fan in general but with Euro Cup happening now I had to join in. There is only a break between two halfs but otherwise its more or less pure football. Why is it so different? Is it a cultural difference where in US this will fly while Europeans just start protesting and boycotting?
With the new TV deal coming – is it only going to get worse?
