If you combined this with a 15 second play clock I would consider the NFL watchable.

See that won't happen because everyone's brilliant idea to reduce concussions involves players seeing even fewer snaps than they do now.

NASCAR has commercials. NASCAR races have more commercials than actual racing. Good luck and godspeed.

The full-course yellow flag is a somewhat natural commercial break once pit stops are over.

American coverage of F1 takes a commercial break every five laps even though the races are usually green the whole time, though!

Allowing the clock to continually run in American football is actually a very good idea.

1) it will reduce concussions
2) it will reduce forum posts about "fencing response :fap:"
3) it will eliminate commercial breaks
4) it will probably reduce the amount of time the coffee breaks between plays last
5) it will make American football fans realize that their players roll around on the field injured just as often as soccer players do

Hell, nowadays even if we don't have TV, we keep taking "media timeouts" just so everyone stays used to the pace of a non-televised game.

This is probably done for radio. Once you've introduced ad space it won't be taken away. Even college volleyball generally takes media timeouts.
