When game group dynamics kill the enjoyment

Our game group has one person who explains rules for twenty minutes and another who checks their phone constantly and we all just tolerate it because we don't want drama, but game night has become this thing we dread instead of look forward to. None of us know how to address it without seeming petty about something that's supposed to be fun.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to avoid conflict has created a situation where everyone suffers in silence rather than protecting what they came together to enjoy.
