Same reason soccer -- real football -- didn't. Not enough timeouts for

Thats exactly it. American media have not figured out a way to slice it
up, or for that matter, to show it better than the super wide angle shot
you normally see when you turn on a soccer match. I love the sport, and
play it when I can, but its hard to watch it when the men appear like
tiny little dots on the screen.

a picture of me when I'm older." Where'd you get that camera man?
