Baseball is perfect for radio, Football is perfect for TV, and Basketball is perfect for social media/internet

And hockey and soccer are made to watch them live in real time.

Do you agree?

 

[Remote]

I'm actually inclined to agree with all of this.

 

[daboywonder2002]

Definitely. I have not been to a hockey game live but have only heard great things from people who have

To go even further, I'd say Football is best for TV when watching in a group

Football gets a lot of shyt for all the pauses between play, but it lets the game breath for people to talk and dive back in for the next down.

Football is better for the bar than TV.
Too many breaks in action to sit and watch it unless you are also socializing with other people while you do it.

Prefer Basketball on TV, they got the best commentary if you have the right crew , see a dumb play. and cut to shaq and chuck at halftime clowning the play. Its fun >> a bunch of theoretical X's and O's from broadcasters like other sports.
but i come from the perspective of a person who enjoyed playing these sports, and not a wannabe coach or GM

 

[SchoolboyC]

Baseball is best to watch in person

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

Football is not great TV unless you’re watching it right in a bar or a social gathering. There are too many pauses and dead time. There’s only 8 minutes of actually football played over the course of a game.

Also baseball is good live.

I'd rather not consume a baseball game at all than listen to it on the radio Plus the fact the Mets got the best TV broadcast crew in baseball makes me wanna watch the TV broadcast even more The Mets radio announcer is a cool guy but I need them visuals





My dad is a Yankees fan and he used to listen to Sterling call Yankees games all the time when I was growing up. An A BOMB! From A Rod! He's old though, I cannot do radio for live games.

Baseball is good for live games in the first half of the season even if you don't follow it. Good weather, cheap seats, hangout with the brehs, family or whatever, have a couple of beers in the sun, not too wild

 

[Luke Cage]

Only been to one hockey game in my life, and i still say Hockey is the best live sport.
Sat up against the glass and it was the funnest experience i've had at a live game. Been to dozens of basketball, football, and baseball games.

Never seen a live pro Boxing match though, i suspect Boxing might be up there if you got ringside seats.

I think football is better on TV for the commentary. Just hearing a Tony Romo or Troy Aikman break down a play.

Basketball was made for social media before social media existed. Before twitter, we debate about it at the barbershop or at school, the trash talking and of course the latent racism of the fans. Explains why the culture is so toxic, just like social media.

Wouldn’t have it any other way.

 

[bl2k8]

Basketball is the most up close in person sport of all of them. Y’all annoying

Breh...

You blew my mind

I remember listening the Phillies games that were "blacked out" , and the shyt hit so different versus watching it on TV. It was like a ASMR type of experience.
