I have no fucking clue what distance this is representing

If it’s proportionate to the time it seems to take for a game of American Football it must be massive.

It's about 3.5x the length of my garden

I think it's about 0.5 americans

So they feel the need to give us the yards to metres conversion, but not the length of the American rugby thing in either unit...

I feel like they got the original information from NASA and didn't have the American football/proper football unit conversion tool available

NASA have a history of metric to imperial problems.
I'm metric and go with the Belgium rather than the Wales unit system.
