mildly interesting, really surprised baseball has more action than football.

Is chugging down a field in soccer really "action"?

A better example: When the player throws the ball in after EVERY basket in NBA Basketball, is that REALLY "Action"? Keep in mind, there is often over 100 baskets in a single NBA game. Especially in pro basketball, they will literally walk down the court to get to the other side many times. Just because the ball is in their hand and the clock is running doesn't constitute "action".

I honestly think they are trying to knock Football WAAAAAY too much.

I agree.

Rugby is quite literally off the chart, I see.

Well to be fair, free-throws aren't clocked, and throwing the ball in doesn't count until someone in bounds touched the ball. So in theory basketball is the only game that could have more action than there is clock time.

Competitive ballet? How does that work exactly?

True of soccer too. Referee adds time for time wasted, subbing or any stoppage such as throw-in's. The fourth official actually keeps track of this.

Define "action." I posit baseball has more "game time" but virtually no "action."

Counting pitching, hitting and running (the time the ball is actually in play) it does have more "action" time...the average football game only has 11 minutes

You could argue the quality of the "action" is better with football, but that is subjective

I'm pretty sure they mean "in play". for football it would be from snap to whistle. Baseball would be probably from the time the ball leaves the pitcher's hand to the time everyone is safe or out. There is no clock in baseball and stuff can happen between pitches like stolen bases so I'm sure there is some subjectivity here.

According to the graph, baseball has 18 minutes of action during the nearly 3 hour game. Works out to about 20 seconds per out (27 outs per team), or 3.7 seconds per pitch (assuming 147 pitches per team). Football has 10 minutes and 48 seconds of action, or 5.23 seconds per play, assuming 62 snaps per team.

These numbers seem fairly reasonable
