I am one of possibly fewer than 150 million people who would pay to watch Benicio del Toro do literally anything, but yes this premise is Oscar-worthy

Yeah, this makes sense to me. It brings me back to my original point that sports are dumb. (but a fascinating sociological lens!)

I'm curious as to what not set by rules does move you. Music? Art? etc. Sports have always interested me from a sociological standpoint so you are now a brain study for me 😶

Annie D. @delsannio.bsky.social · 11d

I mean that is fine! I don't think you're missing out if it doesn't matter to you. The one significant aspect of sports fandom that doesn't relate to rules is the sense of community, which is worthwhile & can be very strong, but tbh that has dissipated in this media age like everything else communal

Sports are so dumb, and then suddenly they make you feel like anything can happen in the world, and NOTHING feels like that anymore, and it is impossible to explain this to people who correctly state that sports are dumb.

Just read the Mets have gone 37-54 since June 12. They've got $230 million over the Reds in payroll. If there is a single team that deserves the playoffs less than the Reds, it's the Mets.
