I am not a football fan, and I too just found the article hard to read...

Too wordy, too many tangents, get to your main thesis fast: why is football on TV a sleight of hand?

not sure I agree with a lot of points the major rule changes each year never seen that as a one a year viewer of the super bowl - if that was so the UK show would mention rule changes.

And NFL keeps some much older rules that it inherited from rugger that rugby has removed

What's the answer?

Football on TV is just another reality show.
