I mean, baseball is slower than molasses with batters stepping out of the batters box, pitchers shaking off signs, etc.
In a 60 minute football game there is less than 10 minutes of action. If it's continuous action you're looking for become a soccer or hockey fan. They don't stop for anything, even injuries. The rules of football have become far too convoluted. Concepts such as defenses being called for delay of game or defensive linemen being penalized for "causing an olineman to flinch" by jumping into the neutral zone (olinemen know the fricking snap count), are ideas that would have been considered insane 3 decades ago. Football by it's nature is flawed compared to baseball or soccer.

I have seen an HR on baseball overturned. George Brett in the early 1980s. Too much pine tar on his bat. Billy Martin of the Yankees protested and the umpires called him out.

Beat me to it. I lived near KC then and saw that game on TV.

Thank you all for proving my point. Your only baseball example was from 30+ years ago. I watched a punt returned for touchdown called back because of a block in the back that had no impact on the play yesterday. It wasn’t even a blatant block. How many times have you seen a big play negated because a tackle was a quarter step too far from the LOS.
