lol "full time student" isn't an employment gap.
It is an issue, primarily because it disproportionately affects women (because stay at home moms), but it's sincerely something you can't legislate. An employment gap is time where you aren't gaining experience someone else is.
You might be gaining different experience, and it's unfortunate that in a lot of cases you won't be able to get to an interview to talk about it, but being in the workforce, and fulfilling the requirements to keep your job (even if they are just show up and don't be such a toxic mess your employer is forced to fire you) are things that directly have a bearing on your ability to be a good employee for their company. If you could exclude stay at home parents, I'm pretty confident that you would see a measurable difference in quality of employee between people who have steadily kept a job and people who haven't, even if it's a higher percentage of bad apples and not a lower median performance.
The NFL plus subscription lets you access either the entire broadcast without commercials, an alternate version that's cut from snap to tackle (and is available pretty quick at least in the playoffs; I watched some late games in the morning before work), or the coaches film (that's slightly slower).
Overseas it's different, but last I was aware it was better and included live feeds in addition to everything else.
