And tv has made the actual games worse with so many commercials

Just 20 years ago it was more enjoyable to watch a game because they let the game be played. Now we get constant pauses for tv timeouts. You don't see this level of game stoppage in other sports. And that has helped to make all fans annoyed and less interested in watching or attending. IMHO
