The secret to American football is the constant interruptions.
Much like baseball but for even shorter attention spans, real football not only allows for commercial breaks, but it turns the sport into an amusing conversation piece instead of something you're expected to seriously engage with.
Football exists to have on in the background while you hang with the bros and crush brewskis.
If your conversation with Chad about the slut whose back he blew out last night is more engaging, you can safely check out from the game then easily slot back in when you realize your friend was fucking that Mexican goblina from the food court and need to focus on something else.
It is entertainment distilled to its purest form, unlike your "beatiful game" that compels continuous engagement so you don't have to talk to each other. It's like you don't even want to hang out but do so anyway out of some vestigial sense of comradery.
