Burning Gold Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 The All Star Game's nothing more than an exhibition match anyway. God knows football in America needs more casual fans, so if you can do something like this to make it more fun for that type of viewer, why not? It's not like he was busy.

Because Americans don't take the sport seriously and never will if this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americans don't take any All-Star game seriously and it doesn't affect any other sport. They do the exact same thing in the MLB All-Star Game.

They think it's a waste of time like the others? The silliness of All-Star Games must be ingrained in the American psyche by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeem Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Thats the reason why Spain lost in 2010. Casillas got distracted by the boobs of the reporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted August 3, 2018 Administrator Share Posted August 3, 2018 Expecting this to be regular thing within 10 years. At least with coaches/managers if not with players. They already do it in non-league football. Happens in cricket in T20 matches (used to be more regular but not seen it as often recently). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Yes - this was pretty dumb, BUT it was a meaningless game. Science will tell you that focusing on doing your job as an athlete is impaired if you are also having to doing other things like focused listening/conversations. They also did this in the MLB All-Star game by putting mics on the outfielders, and asking them questions like how's it feel to be an all-star..blah, blah, blah, but I remember Matt Kemp during the All-Star game said live that it was distracting and that there was no way he was going to keep it in his ear while at bat. I think it's an all-star game, and one that only works if there is a position where absolute concentration isn't needed 100% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
