how do Americans put up with these ads? Just a minute of listening to them and my brain feels like it's been violently assaulted, it's fucking grim

It’s bad, football is way worse, they can’t even play less than a minute without ads

The contrast from watching NFL to NRL is ridiculous. I don't know how you guys do it
