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.
for real, app gambling has truly ruined shit even more and makes it harder to trust refs/umpires even more
with the new baseball clock rules, NFL now takes about 30 mins longer to complete a game.
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
Ah man, I remember going to Braves games in the 80s and the stadium being half as full as that one. Nostalgia!
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:
Kill the umpire
yeah, I'm antiumperialist
i want automated strike zone now, sick of these baseball cops pretending they are infallible.
Also the players get TBIs
American Football
Australian Rules Football
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
