Football is by far the greatest game on the planet. Why are there always these retarded suggestions to change the law ofmthe game?
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

The stop-the-clock idea is the one that people are touting most as being directly related to commercial breaks. However, FIFA et al. could really shoot themselves in the foot with this in my opinion:

If the game is stop-the-clock, time wasting can no longer be a punishable offence.
If time wasting is no longer a punishable offence, then there is no detrimental effect of wasting time to allow yourself or your teammates to take a breather.
This could make the end time of a match far more unpredictable, messing with many broadcasters' schedules. In fact, if players had 10 or 12 two-minute sit-downs on top of the expected 30 mins' downtime, it could start to create schedule clashes between games on days like Sky's 'Super Sundays'.
On the flip side, if out-of-play time is considerably less than expected, there may be a longer gap between games than broadcasters plan for. This could lead to the effect of pubs emptying out in the time between games, if there is less interest in the second game. This could have a minor impact on the amount of pubs taking up Sky subscriptions. I can't imagine this being particularly detrimental, but I'd wager if even 1 in 200 pubs decided to cancel their subscriptions because of a decline in game time income, this would make a hefty hole in Sky's wallet.

FIFA's only consideration is increasing revenues at the World Cup. if sponsors have to pay more due to "informal game breaks" then it will happen. The ref will simply be told in his earpiece when to resume play after an injury or an incident that has referred to the VAR.

FIFA care as much for football at local or even national level as much as turkeys do for Xmas. As long as the World Cup makes them money then everything else is irrelevant. VAR hasnt been introduced to clean up the sport, its been introduced to allow commercials
