The rest of the world should be thankful that games like soccer and rugby haven't become popular in the US: if they had, we would be spending 3 hours watching a 90 minute game and the rhythm of the sports would be totally lost.

You have to admire the way the TV networks in the US managed to convince the public that the format of play should be secondary to their need for revenue. Although what that says about so-called sports fans is something else entirely...
