Fading Attention Span? Former Barcelona star Gerard Pique suggests shaking up football by eliminating draws.
He believes this could reignite interest, particularly among younger audiences. Pique worries that fast-paced entertainment options like TikTok and Netflix are stealing football’s spotlight.
He points to his own children losing focus during games, highlighting the need for increased excitement within the traditional 90-minute format.
Pique added: “You need to find ways to score more goals or that you cannot end a game as a draw.
Maybe there are no draws, why not? In baseball and basketball there are no draws. You go to a game and it ends with a draw and the feeling is, ‘Who won?’.”
