well, that and it's fucking rigged, I can't even bother to give a shit anymore because whoever you root for will be fucked over to reify some storyline and/or for gambling interests. I'm interested in the sport, not some sports-themed entertainment theater.
And it’s half commercials yay
But then we will miss classic moments like the manager kicking dirt on the umpire’s shoes and throwing 1st base out into right field
Not a fan of watching sports (rather being playing them, truthfully), but my impression from when I have watched is it's just close ups of dudes chewing gum with their mouths open.
The only baseball I like is Tommy Lasorda being tormented by Youppi, the Expos mascot:
Teddy Roosevelt loved the sport because he thought it was a good way to instill young men with imperialist values and keep them hyped for war during peace time. It was also a lot more deregulated back then. Helmets were leather and weren't mandatory, there were no face masks, tackling was a lot rougher, dogpiles were the rule rather than the exception, long distance passing almost never happened and every play was about ramming through the defensive line with full force, and deaths were a regular occurrence. They also played on real grass with sticks and rocks coming up out of the ground instead of on astroturf.
Did something happen
My friend was streaming Red Zone. It was a little chaotic for me but he seemed to enjoy it. No commercials and you see the highlights of all the games.
The NFL and NBA are the best examples of pushing the boundaries for inserting ads and capitalist ideology into everything they can while still keeping an audience
I feel weird going to highschool football games, but I have way more fun watching those than professional games. Commercial breaks have taken games that should only last a couple hours at most and stretched them into all day affairs
