I love the football but there are some really stupid things about it

#1 is the phony baloney clock. I can wrap my head around the clock going up. But no more extra time. If somebody is hurt (chances are he's not really hurt), stop the clock. If the ball goes over the goalie into the stands, stop the clock. If there is a referee's conference VAR, stop the clock. Water polo has continuous action including during exclusions. What really drives me nuts is the end of a soccer game where the team that's behind has the ball, it's obvious the clock has run out, but the refs give the team with the ball another attempt to score.
