Likely talking about how short each session/quarter is, how many breaks there are, so many commercials, all the glitzy stuff around them. That does take away from them somewhat and there are a lot of people who want to 'Americanise' football for the even greater financial gain, given the sport's vast popularity.
Basketball and hockey are still sports that look interesting to me, though. And I think I'd like NFL if I ever gave it a proper chance. I can't imagine ever liking baseball.
Something that could work well from American sports in football is the stop clock. Two halves of 30 mins each would be a radical thing in football, bigger even than VAR. But it might eradicate a lot of time-wasting and cheating, and would guarantee a full 60 minutes of actual playing time. Some games are down in the early 50s right now.
