@mr_I_formation @pdxbrocialite Last year’s final was Indiana vs OKC.

@JosephChipukwo @pdxbrocialite And the NBA has no regionality to it and that’s precisely its problem

@_anthonynash @mikeduncan No the argument was that a normal NYC transplant baseball fan if needing to choose between one or the other, would not choose the Yankees, if they have calibrated morals. It can’t be proven but I think that’s true.
English
@mr_I_formation @mikeduncan Yeah and if the argument was *that*, I would understand it.
The initial argument started around "a normal, moral person would not be a Yankees fan" which is very silly, surely you can agree with that.
English
Yes Ross there is no ethical consumption in capitalism. That is not the point. The point is that no one with a moral center who likes baseball would choose to root for the Yankees if they were not born into it
Ross Barkan@RossBarkan
It's wild to believe one team is more moral than the others. NYM owner is literally a centibillionaire who should have gone to prison and is ramming a predatory casino down the throats of working-class Queens. Steinbrenners/Randy Levine are bad, but I'm don't live in fantasyland
English
@_anthonynash @mikeduncan But now we live in a world where the prestigious high society are vampires who may or may not condone child sex trafficking rings. Cosplaying as rich is not as cool as it once was. That’s why to the normie non sports fans, the Yankees are an attractive brand
English
@_anthonynash @mikeduncan lol yes I do. What point are you making!
English
@mr_I_formation @mikeduncan And how were they able to do all that? It’s all moral crap all the way down lol
Are you equally hateful of the Dodgers now because of this?
English
@_anthonynash @mikeduncan Because they won a lot and steal homegrown players away from smaller clubs because they could. What point are you making lmaoo
English
@mr_I_formation @mikeduncan Why were they the villain in the 90s though?
English
@MrEwanMorrison Rest in peace Mark Fisher. A brilliant mind gone too soon, but probably for the best that he is not alive to see this

The future has been cancelled.
In your life you will live through an endless reboot of the highlights from 1980- 2010.
There is no longer any need for new ideas or new writers or creators.
Thanks to risk-averse algorithmic capitalism - we're entering a closed loop of the past.

Honestly what year is it?

@_anthonynash @mikeduncan I don’t know what point you’re making. You said morality should be taken out of choosing fandoms because they’re all owned by rich evil guys. When you do that then it leaves choosing btwn the team who is the villain in 90s movies or the scrappy underdog. What is there not to get
English
@mr_I_formation @mikeduncan They’re lovable losers cause they stunk lol, the team is owned by the richest guy in the sport, that’s what makes it make even less sense!
English
@_anthonynash @mikeduncan Right so then it boils down to aesthetics of the team no? The posh, self righteous Yankees who are historically great because they were richer than everyone else vs the historically bad lovable loser Mets. Yankees are for rich cosplayers and Mets are for poor cosplayers
English
@mikeduncan By this same argument no one with a moral center would choose to root for the Mets either
No one with a moral center would choose to root for most good baseball teams owned by billionaires, really. What’s even the point of all this, then!
English
@banana_rama__ @StratPolitics then I’d say you’re more exemplary of the “laptop class”. Believe it or not, but some things don’t have some layered ontological root that can be converted into a Vox YouTube video
English
@banana_rama__ @StratPolitics I never said I was a Mets fan. I am a fan of Gods team Pittsburgh Pirates. This is stupid discourse anyways because there’s no actual socioeconomic string attached to it. The root is “fuck the Yankees” if you care enough about baseball. If you read into the divide anything beyond

@SportsTakes994u @ChasingSnyder Don’t you think this is endemic to a greater issue? Who likes this content? It’s garbage that just makes people mad. I dream of a world where not every sports commentator is a hot take artist
English
@ChasingSnyder Doing his job when there is nothing to talk about NFL wise for the next month, this happens every year. The people losing their minds over this are morons
English
This is the most insane gaslighting I’ve ever seen from any analyst in any sport. This is like worse than drunk guy at the sports bar bad. And McAfee (and Darius Butler) is spot on to immediately call Dan out on the BS that’s trying to be spewed.

@Tiger1187 @alexinsdorf99 Fairs ig I just disagree with it being natural: it’s not natural. it used to not be like this. But im realizing that you’re using the word in a figure of speech so we’re saying the same thing
English
@mr_I_formation @alexinsdorf99 yeah, thats essentially what Im saying, league likes the drama. And they are right! Here we are tweeting about it. Got us again.
English
Dropping a take so bad people start looking up agent affiliations is special
Awful Announcing@awfulannouncing
Dan Orlovsky responds to claims that he prefers Ty Simpson to Fernando Mendoza because of his CAA affiliation. "There's no ulterior motive behind this"
English
@Tiger1187 @alexinsdorf99 No this is just the modern entertainment industrial complex. The content machine can never stop. More tik toks need to be made or the economy collapses
English
@alexinsdorf99 Nature abhors a vacuum. The draft, as a TV product, needs these takes. Last year it was Kipers fealty to Shedeur Sanders, this year it’s Dano and Ty Simpson.
