The reason that I don't mind it in regulation football is because, since each team kicks off to start on half, both teams have an equal chance to claim the extra possession, and it is not determined by a coin toss.

If team A receives to start the game, they have a chance to have and extra possession in the first half. This, however, is offset by the fact that team B will receive to start the second half, and therefore has a chance to get and extra possession in the second half.

One team may have an extra possession for the game, but both teams have an equal chance to be that team regardless of the result of the coin toss (to start the game).
