Why does the NFL play way less games than other sports?
In: 12
Even at the high school level where the game is simplified, teams spend hours and hours preparing and customizing a strategy for each opponent. Everything that happens on a football field is coordinated between all 11 players and probably changes based on all 11 opposing players, so implementing any new tactics takes time and energy. Executing an offensive strategy is more like trying to perform a musical while 11 people are actively trying to sabotage you.
Basically, it takes a lot of planning, teaching, and studying. Even if you were magically fresh after each game, football still wouldn’t be football if you played more frequently.
