If it isn't, why is the concept defended so vociferously? -- nm - David Jun 26, 11:37 19
- It's not being defended. It's just silly to see people bitch about it. Comical -- nm - CQ Jun 26, 11:41 13
  - There are legitimately 100 posts over the last five days in defense of it. So... -- nm - David Jun 26, 11:46 12
    - Just let it go. You're right, I'm wrong. -- nm - CQ Jun 26, 11:52
    - If I were to propose that the NFL go to touch rules, get five people to bitch about it with me and then post about it after every NFL game - Reagen Jun 26, 11:48 8
      - There are championship winning head coaches trying to prevent plays from being run as quickly. - David Jun 26, 11:58 2
        
        I think there are very definitely things to fix and change about soccer. The clock is not one of them - Reagen Jun 26, 12:00 1
        
        I make this point because hockey and soccer are the most similar sports, stylistically. - David Jun 26, 12:03
      - Isn't that what the NFL is doing? Well, with QBs and WRs anyway. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 11:49 4
        
        who knows NFL is not really a big sport here and probably never will be either -- nm - Dándukini Jun 26, 11:51
        
        There's probably a case to be made about that at another time - Reagen Jun 26, 11:51 2
        
        If I and my friends don't like the way my wife is styling her hair, that doesn't make us right - Zorcàs Jun 26, 11:53 1
        
        The fuq? -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 11:57
    - Because there have been about 200 posts questioning in it. - Tyego97 Jun 26, 11:46 1
      - As long as we agree people were defending it, contrary to the statement of the post in question.... -- nm - David Jun 26, 11:49
- why change something that is not a problem really? -- nm - Dándukini Jun 26, 11:40
- No, the inexact timing is not a big deal to soccer fans. - Reagen Jun 26, 11:39 3
  - it's really not....nm - x Jun 26, 11:53
  - it does - Dándukini Jun 26, 11:41
  - Yeah, if they went to an NHL-like clock-stopping model, the games would be unwatchably long. And boring. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 11:40
