Watching the end of a basketball game is like pulling teeth.

And if you have the time to watch a longer game 6 nights a week, then now you have the time to squeeze in an extra game since almost 30 minutes was cut from every game.

For those of us with jobs, kids and are not yet retired, this was a godsend.
I watched more baseball last year than the previous 5 years combined.


And since most of the people who are against these changes are staunch traditionalists, a 3 hour game was by no means traditional.

It steadily rose in the late 80s and 90s and by the 2010s had become out of control.

Yeah, late to respond but this 2000%. I have to admit I’d fallen out of love for baseball in recent years. I thought it was all the Ks but the fact is, the game had become too much standing around and waiting for something to happen. Last year changed all that and the game became watchable again.
