Why watching major league games feels slower but more controlled
At some point while watching a live match on TV, I realized I was paying more attention to the breaks than to the action itself. There are moments when everything stops, officials talk, replays roll, and commentators explain details that didn’t seem so important before. During a recent game night with friends, this pacing sparked a long debate about whether the sport is still made for fans or more for analysts and cameras. It made me curious about what actually changed behind the scenes and why the rhythm feels so different today.

Instead of assuming it was all unnecessary, I decided to look deeper into how the system is structured now and why these pauses exist at all.

Once you understand the logic, those interruptions stop feeling random and start making sense as part of a bigger process designed to keep things fair and consistent across games.
