Is Football Worth the Time?

For many American families, sitting down to watch Sunday Night Football has become a custom. In duration of 60 minutes of play two teams battle it out to win the game and ultimately make a path to the Superbowl. Although, the playing time is 60 minutes the game takes 3 whole hours to finish! I love watching football, but I think it is a tad outrageous that only 1/3rd of the game actually consist of playing time. Additionally, it is almost intolerable that after every play there seems to be an interruption; a flag or a commercial.
In fact a study from an article in the Wall Street Journal, shows that on an estimate only 11 minutes of entire football game consists of actual playing. That means only 6% of the game consists of playing time, which is absolutely ridiculous. As well, in the study it shows that 67 minutes of a football game consists of players standing around, 17 minutes are taken up by replays, and the rest of the time is consumed of commercials. Overall, it is preposterous that such a small amount playing time is in an average football game. I think that the NFL association should create an idea to present more game time instead of nonsense time. The shortage of game time in a football game is ridiculous to many, but will it keep you from watching?
