I prefer handegg.
A toxic masculinity-fueled sport like that could do with a whimsical but accurate name to balance things out.
waitball, where you spend most of the game waiting for them to do something with the ball
Unfortunately that would not differentiate the two
Or AdvertiseBalls. It’s just commercials with a bit of gameplay in between.
Which is which I don't know how people say soccer is boring cause nothing happens. When nothing literally happens in the 3 plus hour football game.
I'd agree, except clearly Baseball is the waitiest of waitballs..
New MLB rules have fixed that, they have a timer on the play now so pitchers don't spend all day checking bases and shit. 15-18 seconds between pitches, 30 seconds between batters is overall less waitball than the NFL 40s play timer and timeouts.
