    This makes it impossible to show adverts while the game is playing, unlike in American sports.

    Clearly you've never heard of Lexus Stoppage Time. In the States they still find ways to sneak ads in—they'll also usually have an ad bar next to the score and time.

          South African football was heading down that road, but actually got so broke during COVID 19 that sponsors pulled out. Stuff went from the ABSA Premiership, to just the premiership lol.

          The state of football is not good right now, hope it will improve though.

            It's hard for the sport to commercially survive outside Europe, since most of the good players concentrate there, unfortunately. Wish it like back in the day, where it more diverse and Brazilian club dominate

      I don't think anyone has licensed stoppage time on broadcasts of MLS, yet. Just things like the "Budhauser Man of the Match" or the "Autolube Replay"
