They just keep going.

You have a huge number of people who play association football, soccer in this country.

American football.

American football in this country.

All of our sports that we like in Australia, apart from cricket, tend to be quite compact.

80-minute game, 90-minute game, 10-minute halftime.

And it's part of your day.

It's not your whole day.

It's like we'll go to a football game and then we'll go and have dinner or go and do something else.

So we have that same thing where the action is so continuous that the idea of stopping for a commercial break gets quite tricky.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, the way I think it sort of plays out is you've got rugby union, right, which is 15 men a side.

Every time a player is tackled, you re-compete for the ball.

You have rocks, mauls, you have line-outs.

It's a very different game.

But there's another version of rugby called Rugby League, which was played in the north of England.

And that has a defined period of offense and defense.

And I think that's where American football comes from.

I actually own a team in Australia.
