Removal of reference to rugby and soccer

[edit]

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.

Change of name of article

[edit]

I think the name of this article should be changed from Television timeout to Media timeout. Here are the reasons, for one it is officially called a media timeout, plus these rules apply to radio as well as TV and when there is no TV broadcast the rules still apply. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.150.236.196 (talk) 21:13, 29 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

History of the TV timeout

[edit]

It would be interesting to learn of the history of this practice in certain sports. When, for instance, did college basketball adopt the media timeout schedule, and why?  Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.143.98.28 (talk) 19:34, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
