I don't think that's very fair to use as an argument though. There's plenty that either goes on or gives you a chance to think about/anticipate what is about to happen between the whistles. I enjoy having half a minute or so between plays to digest what I just saw and think about what might come next. You could say that a soccer game has over 90 minutes of true live action, but only the most delusional fan of that sport (and lord knows there are plenty) would argue that the entire time is truly "action".
