the ball is real real football than you are right. Controlling the ball is everything in football so while the style the NFL plays is more accurately the game, the advantage the winner of the toss gets hurts the fairness of the game. In my opinion, the discredits the point of overtime in deciding a contest. If they want to be more football than they are, they should just play at a time of an additional quarter. Saying it’s to avoid injury, doesn’t make it more fair.
