I’m really into hockey, and I feel the reddit sub is 99% hockey-themed soap opera content, like what players are getting divorced from their wives and such. It’s so boring to me. I just want to see highlights, trades, stats, etc. But it’s very clear that the sub wants to see this type of content, so I guess give the people what they want.
Comment on Why do sports commentators talk soft bullshit?

Because most viewers don’t want actual analysis, they just want meaningless drama. ESPN has more or less turned sports fandom into the real housewives for men imo.

When the regular season starts it will probably get better.
dandroid@dandroid.app 9 months ago
It usually does get better during the season, but there is always an element of that in the sub.

It is really frustrating. I blame Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless. Kidding, but seriously. That style of commentary is absolute crap. Yelling is not an affective way to get your point across.
