This was the thing that got me about American Football! I've been to one match in my life and I have vague recollections of it being in New York and involving a team from New Hampshire whose name I can't remember. As to who won - absolutely no idea!

Anyway, the thing I couldn't get my head round was that the entire game was stopped for the commercial breaks. And, as if the boards around the stadium weren't enough, while the tv viewers were getting commercials they paraded cheerleader types around the stadium carrying placards.

How weird is that!?!
