Not really a ritual, but networks profiting off of injuries by showing ads while a player lays hurt always rubs me the wrong way.

Tomahawk chop chant thing.
USC’s Tribute to Troy song they play incessantly.

You can get the **** out right now. ISUCFVMB is a god-damned treasure.
Yeah, lets take one of the last parts of traditional college football atmosphere out of college football.
While we are at it, let's axe the fight song, the mascots, and the cheer squads. We'll replace it all with canned top 40 pop hits and rap music.
What else are they supposed to do? Show the injured player the whole time?
Tomahawk chop is legit and I’m not even a chiefs/braves/FSU fan
Capture the moment. Talk about the player, his impact on the team, how him being hurt changes things. Show the teammates/coaches/fans and capture the human element of it all.
Then I suppose I’m good with commercials once the story has been told. Too many times it just feels like a money grab as they cut away from the game as quick as possible.
No one likes being shown at their most vulnerable. They can’t cut away fast enough IMO.
Haven't read other post, so take it as it is. Batter stepping out of box, adjusting gloves , arm guard, gripping bat for 40 seconds,
Time between pitches even before the pitch clock was much less than time between football plays.
You want longer games? This is how you get longer games.
They've got 14-17 media timeouts to cram into each game. There's not time to piss around with 3 minutes of dead air while somebody gets a cramp rubbed out.
