You just gave me a seed of a thought: the reason the NFL (and its broadcasters) are so successful is that every one of those 15 minutes (if that's the number) is "exciting."

Meanwhile, if you broadcast 90+ minutes of soccer in a continuous fashion, it's "boring" (despite the 15 or so minutes of "excitement").

I’m not sure how exciting it is to watch do overs...I mean, er, plays called back for penalties.

Or dropped passes.

Or the offense taking their time to kill the clock or putting a knee down to end the game.

But I’m glad your filters help you ignore these things and see “that every one of those 15 minutes (if that’s the number) is ‘exciting.’.”

It doesn’t work that way for me anymore.
