This is true. Most Americans don't have the patience to sit through continuous play whilst most Brits for example don't have the patience to sit through constant commercial breaks. Just comes down to culture and what we've grown up with. You guys deal with the ad breaks because you haven't known sport to be any different. Over here, the breaks are one of the main reasons people don't watch American sports, they're unbearable to most of us.
