yes, this is a common and very true argument against the sport and I agree. It is extra annoying to me that they have now integrated commercials built into the time when we are not watching commercials. Like something will play without sound when there is a break in play and man it is getting to be too much. I get that commercials and money drive the sport but this is getting out of hand.

Yes I love the sport but lost interest in the game as the breaks are that long. Most sports try and speed the game up, but the Americans go the other way and are looking for more revenue.
I often watch the games after the fact on a sped up version of the game that doesn't have any of the timeouts and the swapping of players is not shown unless something crazy happened. On some services this is called "red zone" version of the broadcast and the entire game can be shown in around 15 minutes. This is what I do for any game that isn't of super importance to me. The breaks are super annoying especially when you are in public and they have a loud sound system on so now you have to have Toyota try to sell you something at maximum volume.
