[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I saw the result today was a nil nil draw, after a 1-1 draw, I immediately thought of this thread and chuckled. Why don’t Americans love this boring-ass game? Why? I just can’t figure it out! 🧐[/quote]

Many years ago, the NFL changed rules to increase scoring after doing a study that revealed viewer interest increased with increased scoring.[/quote]

Some of those changes came about because of the original, now defunct, one season XFL in the early 2000s! In all the prime time NFL games now the players introduce themselves and say what college or HS they went to, and that was an XFL thing too. Helps you get to know the players more.

I’ve wondered if soccer hasn’t taken off here because it’s not advertiser friendly. You play for 45 minutes without stopping. No time for commercial breaks in there. They’ll do ads at the half but they also tend to do some game analysis at that time too so it’s not just a 15 minute ad extravaganza. [/quote]
