ADD is not being able to pay attention to one thing for a long period of time. Getting annoyed of constant artificial stoppages (as opposed to the natural stoppages in football) in play is not ADD, it is common sense. You will notice how my favorite sport is college football.
I don't even put this as the difference between soccer and american football, it is the difference between NFL and college football. I had Texans tickets and the games were dreadfully boring (and not just because the Texans suck) whereas I had plenty of fun at other levels of football. The only mitigating factor was that they had a good bloody mary bar where you could make your own bloody mary with all kinds of fixings, and if you smuggled in a flask of vodka you could just go back 5 times and get your sunday morning breakfast well done.
NFL tv time outs have gotten out of control, and no one who isn't a hard core NFL fan would say otherwise. NFL is good at a bar because you don't care about the time outs when you are bullshitting with friends and getting drunk. Live it blows. (and, as said before, it's overtime rules are worse than a tie).
