Soccer commercials

I've watched more soccer in the past few weeks than in the past few decades because of this World Cup hoopla and my innate desire as a white person to fit in with the soccer-loving white people of the world. Aside from the hours of watching men run around a grassy field, kicking a ball at each other and feigning injury, one thing I really enjoy about the sport is the startling and refreshing lack of commercial breaks. No less than 45 minutes of uninterrupted content happens at a time, which in American sports broadcasting would equate to three hours and $360 billion worth of lost advertising revenue. Despite all those stupid plastic horns and the often fatal boringness of watching soccer, I have to admit they might be on to something. #entertainment
