Yes. I have stopped watching full matches. The time stopping for VAR checks is like American football game pauses. Eventually, Sky sports will be putting commercials n during they time.

That’s just the time it takes for checks. Nevermind the inconsistencies of the outcomes, which is worse than the game pausing.

This is actually a crazy idea that has probably been discussed in meetings. They could charge more based on the popularity of the teams.
