Baseball is a sport of the proletariat because it is (a) heavily unionized, (b) most commonly watched while skipping work, (c) dirt cheap to attend, and (d) affording you ample opportunity to radical your coworkers in between innings.

Football is a trash sport for trash people.

I love baseball but MLB is getting harder to watch with the amount of ad creep I’ve noticed in the last season or two. It’s sounds strange but I’ve actually gotten into MLS in the last year since it feels like the least advertising-intensive sport right now. I actually dropped watching the NHL because covering the ice in ads started bugging me too much.

They put ads on the back of the pitcher’s mound for television audience. I yelled at the tv when I first saw that

Tell me about it. The oldest continually operating team in the league now has a big yellow sack of concrete on their shoulders.
