ROME, NY - Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred has decided to boycott the Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. The reason? The absence of a pitch clock in the game. Yes, you read that right. Despite the fact that there's no pitching in football, Manfred, who is known for his push to speed up baseball games with the introduction of the pitch clock, expected there to be one in the Super Bowl as well.
"No way am I sitting through that for 3 hours," Manfred exclaimed while donning a blindfold.
Several guests at Manfred's Super Bowl party were left in disbelief when they realized that the commissioner had no plans to watch the game due to this peculiar stance. Consequently, many have already left his house, not wanting to miss out on the big game over a baseball-related protest.
"I thought this was going to be a fun party, not a lesson on baseball rules," said one irritated party guest. "I'm out!"
According to NFL on FAX, the NFL has no intentions of introducing any type of additional clock to speed up their games, as far as we know. This has only added to the controversy, with fans and analysts alike questioning Manfred's decision and the relevance of a pitch clock in a football context.
It seems that Manfred's commitment to time efficiency in sports knows no bounds, even if it means missing out on one of the biggest events in American sports. The pitch clock continues to have a deep impact on Rob Manfred's life.
