The constant betting ads have really turned me off from watching most sports. It has been especially hard to watch my NBA team the last few years because of tanking.

Seeing the MLB change its rules to appeal to a wider audience has been interesting. Things like the pitch clock and ABS system have certainly made for a more streamlined game, but a lot of die-hard baseball fans that I know don’t like them because they see it as sanding down a sport that they fell in love with for being slower and having esoteric, unwritten rules (laudatory).

Nothing beats watching a baseball game in person on a summer evening though.
