For 140 years time-wasting has afflicted football and there is still no solution

Baseball is a favorite of mine for this. Whether it's allowing pitchers to add something sticky enough to the ball to manipulate spin. Or the batter creating a really tight window trying to encourage the pitcher to hit them so they walk. Or the opposite which is pitchers deliberately walking good hitters.
Regardless I don't know exactly what they mean by time-wasting. However if it's making games last longer by avoiding play, then couldn't they give an extra ranking point if a team scores so much over the other within 30 minutes?
Of course that means less time to sell beer and snacks.
