Talk:Television timeout

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Removal of reference to rugby and soccer

I have removed the sentence "By their nature, TV timeouts can only be used in sports that have breaks in play anyway, so they are not used in sports such as football (soccer) or rugby.", as I believe it is misleading. Both these sports have a half time break, which is often used for commercial breaks. Either sport could accommodate further timeouts as there are plenty of stoppages, but the laws of the games as set down by their governing bodies do not currently permit this.
