I appreciate the Jays in 30. You get the gist of the game but it cuts out a fair amount of that
All sports are about laundry as much as the Olympics are about passports

Sure, but I get to pick my favorite team and not have this uncomfortable nationalism about where the players are from. I suppose I understand it for countries with near zero immigration, though at it's root, I still find it almost tribalism. Country A got fewer medals than Country B! So...what, exactly?
Also a problem I have with cricket, though I find the actual game quite enjoyable. I can't just look around the league and pick a team to follow. The top level of competition is national teams playing against each other.
I get that not everyone likes baseball, and not everyone likes hockey. I'm fine liking the 3rd and 4th most popular sports and not the 1st and 2nd; find them both more interesting than football and basketball and one of them is always in season.
