I like football and all, and I know that a lot of other countries tune in for the super bowl but what does the declaration of independence have to do with football? Then to go on and on about how the steel workers "built this nation", and the Acme Packers were true Americans and just some of the sappiest "rah rah rah America!" stuff I've seen in a long time.
IT'S JUST A FOOTBALL GAME. They're just football players, and they're playing for money, not freedom.

Because it's in the NFL's financial interest to conflate Super Bowl Sunday (tm) with a national holiday as much as possible.
Why does football last so damned lllloooooonnnnnggggggg? I say don't stop the clock during the quarter at all. Three minutes between quarters would be OK.

No time outs for play because that would leave less time to gain more points over the opposing team which would allow that many more players to escape the field when the b.. eh, time is up. (yeah, I'm censoring myself since I don't want some f-tard feds come knocking on my door )
Also, they should do away with huddles and have mics and headsets in the helmets, and all teammates get their directions/plays this way. They can adjust in real time... It could make for some confusion, but the more chaos - the more fun. And just like the dialog between the drivers and pit crew (or whatever) in Nascar - all conversations could be broadcasted (maybe over loud speaker). The other team can also tune in to the other team's frequency - if they can find it. So it should be constantly changed. Oh yeah, also have tazers underneath the players' gear that can go of at any time and at varying intensities.
I could go on and on....
Among other things; A multi-team mascot cage fight to the death above the stadium. Dismembered costume parts raining down onto the field every few minutes for the players to pick up and use as weapons to fend off randomly released wild jungle animals. That would rock.

I might be able to stay focused on that! Good idea, you should sell it to NFL!

Rupert Murdoch just wants to rub in all non-USA countries how much superior we are?
