Soccer... I just don't get it

[PShabi]

Dude, the stretcher comes onto the field 15 times a game for kicks to the ankles. Then the player is running down field, full sprint 3 minutes later, 99% of the time.

Save it.

And by stoppage, I meant the fact that play was stopping every 5 minutes to let some dope roll around on the field, get on the stretcher, and then come back 3 minutes later, sprinting full speed down the field.
