Although I agree that changing rules for *just* for spectators is a bit silly, I think the game is too stop-starty as it is, and removing timeouts would create more flow in games, which is always good for the sport. I don’t think you can say that removing them is at the expense of the players well-being- it’s a sport, you’re suppose to run – and I don’t think having a stoppage because players are a little tired, especially mid-point, is good – imo, if it’s good for flow, it’s good for the sport.
