Fair enough but none of that adds to the total run time of a game.

When NFL players fake injuries? clock stops. Real Injuries? Clock stops. Incomplete pass and the ball being reset? clock stops. Ball carrier goes out of bounds? clock stops. Guy with a red shirt stands on the field? clock stops. time out? clock stops. play review? clock stops. While all of this is happening there is nothing happening on the field so they show commercials, cheerleaders, coaches/players standing on the sideline, crowd shots, etc. During all of what you mentioned there is something happening on the field. Players fighting for position during set pieces, players moving while the keeper kicks out, heated arguments while players time waste, are all better than showing Belichek in a cut off hoodie hiding his mouth with his clip board for 30 seconds.

I'm a Syracuse football fan first and foremost but if watching on TV, football doesn't have the same amount of game related moving parts for entertainment. At the game you can see subs, and formations and try and guess the play vs what play you think should be run. On TV the camera pretty much just shows the QB behind the center until the ball is snapped. You can watch 2 football games at once and know whats going on in both. Not as much for soccer.
