Oh, I wasn't implying rudeness. Never thought of it as rude at all. Just hilarious. I wasn't complaining, so much as poking fun.
And it wasn't during half-time and often would be for a few hours. He'd come back in and ask what happened to the game. My mother would respond - oh it ended about two hours ago. LOL!
In contrast? My father stays awake during tennis matches and never leaves the room. Same is true of baseball. But football, he's a bit ambivalent about. He never really played it and while it interests him and he does watch it? It's not a priority. He's been known to leave in the middle of a game, not half-time, to read in another room or listen to music. Or in the case of the Super-bowl? He fell asleep and my mother and I watched the last two hours. And it was an exciting game, not dull at all, even held my attention.
It's not a criticism, it's more fond amusement. I'm somewhat proud that my father isn't that into football.
