Wouldn't surprise me if the TV companies insisted on 2-3 minute timeouts after every goal, video review when they bring that in or injuries to get their ads in.Would never happen as tv companies would find it harder to schedule ad breaks.
At the moment it's a set 90 min game (plus 3-4 mins stoppage) so they pretty much know the time of ad breaks. If they stop the clock every time the ball leaves play the actual times for games ending will vary quite a bit... don't mind the idea of stopping the clock in last 5-10 mins as would cut back on some of the crazy time wasting
