Yes, because football in general is SUPER boring. Did you know that there is less than 10 minutes of actual play time in an average football game.....
1. Football is not boring if the teams are equally matched. Case n point, the super bowl I almost turned off after the kick off return touch down. However, I was on the edge of my seat during the NFC championship, because the two best teams in the league played that game (imo). When the hawks won that I knew we had the bowl in the bag.
2. No there wouldn't be so much hate because the rest of the country has this vendetta against the hawks for some reason, that has lasted since I can remember...
And 3. There is one hour of actual playtime in any given football game. One quarter = 15min. However there are time outs, commercial breaks, injury time outs, reviews, and other things that stop the game clock but take up more time in a game which is why one hour of game time turns into 4 hours of tv time...
