98% of the game is commercials, how else could they afford the players paychecks, if and when I have any interest in a game I watch the last three minutes of the forth quarter it saves a lot of time and you miss nothing but loud ads and grab assing!
This is false, there's a time clock that tracks how long they play. Now talking television screen time, sure maybe, but the actual game, every game actually, has 60 minutes of play time
No the clock runs when they aren't actually in the middle of the play. In reality it is much less than the 60 minutes of play time you are supposed to get.
