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.

That's fair. Whenever I can get a pirated stream, I genuinely enjoy the big blue MLB logo and total silence where the ad-breaks are supposed to be.

Never got into NHL, but I'm down in Texas, so... I do feel like the live games are getting better entirely due to the relative lack of ads everywhere.
