They claim the average play is four seconds long, and if you consider how often the ball is snapped with 5 or fewer seconds on the play clock in a 60 minute game, it's not too difficult to imagine most games only being 11 minutes of actual play on average.
60 mins, 40 second play clock, 35 seconds of which are used each play, plus four seconds of actual play
60 mins / (39/60) = 92.3 plays
(92.3 * 4 seconds per play) / 60 = 6.15 minutes
it's easy to see why handegg never caught on outside the states ain't it?

Trying to choose which pizza buffet to go to for lunch. Hrmmm
Apparently the local Cici's pizza by me is no longer a Cici's pizza. I guess it's still a pizza buffet but is independently owned I guess? Maybe just rebranding?
Either way I'm pretty sure I haven't been there in at least a decade.
The best part of CiCi's is that their commercials make the place look all clean and all the pizza looks fresh and delectable. They trick you in.
Then you actually go inside and it looks like a poorly maintained prison cafeteria. The pizza will most likely give you a sour stomach and the only moment of peace you have is when you have far far too many pieces of the dessert pizzas.

DirecTV does these NFL Short Cut things where they clip a game down into 30 minutes by just splicing together actual play footage and even then they often end up skipping some plays to fit the 30 minute window. 11 minutes seems pretty off.
But they probably also show the parts where the players line up and what not. I assume this is only taking into account once each play actually starts.
No they pretty much show snap to tackle with maybe 1-2 seconds on either end so the viewer isn't totally disoriented.

People who watch televised sports rather than playing it themselves are also pretty wrong, but less wrong than someone who enjoys sitting down to a baseball game.
The only redeeming part to that is usually it's a party and there's pizza and wings, because the only time someone watches baseball is for the world series.

baseball is awesome and if you disagree you are wrong the end
Televised baseball is less exciting than televised tennis.
Yeah, I said it.
gotta admit
the one time i went to a football game it was 'aight
still not sold on watching it on TV though
maybe a world cup final, watching the best of the best play can be fun
but ugh 90 minutes
The hardcore soccer fans hate the quality of play in the World Cup and drone on endlessly about how the only stuff worth watching is top-level club stuff.
As an American, woo nationalism, go World Cup, etc.
Unless you're really into 16 year-old Eastern European girls, yeah.
fuck that
but i could watch venus and sarina play all day

It is interesting how 'privilege' has come to imply 'injustice'.
Which I guess is true in most cases? Like, as a white dude I am privileged in pretty much all my human interactions and mostly because people who are not white or are not dudes have to deal with Bullshit.
And I originally intended to say something like 'health does not recognize your unprivileged status, it just is' but couldn't find a way to word that in a manner that made it agnostic to healthcare because yeah doctors are humans and studies show that I'd get better and more comprehensive treatment even controlling for socioeconomic factors (though you wouldn't want to because, hey, intersectionalism).
So I guess the strongest statement that I can make is that the Tumblr person in question might be dealing with institutions that are sometimes guilty of pathologizing the Other and while her physician's diagnosis of high blood pressure might be an inaccurate one and that inaccuracy might be due to some bias against fat people BUT that one should generally take the advice of medical professionals and there is generally the option to get a second opinion. Making a Tumblr post ain't never resolved someone's prescription medication dilemma.

Baseball at the stadium = fantastic.
But man are those televised games awful.
brainwashing?
Thin people are treated perfectly and no fat people are famous, rich, or treated with dignity ever.
Probably
I grew up in a baseball family
i understand
my family likes cricket
mind you, i am completely unconflicted in hating cricket
hey guys
I'm gonna blow your minds right now
check this
you're welcome
*dons fedora*
*flaps cape as he exits*

i have kongsberg things. are those ok?

Grown men destroying their bodies for no money to prove they're stronger than Americans, so when they're 35, they can no longer move or walk.
