> You can't see the ball in American football, either.

Tell me you're not from the US without telling me. This is apples and oranges.

Unless it's a trick play, you 100% know where the ball is.

How many times in football does the ball go from one end to the other and back? Never. In hockey that happens regularly, and in seconds. That's why comparing them in this context isn't correct.
