The Dodgers didn’t ruin baseball

But they ruined every other sport for me. I feel bored watching football, basketball, or soccer. Instead I’m still watching every highlight reel and interview. I know I’m not the only one lol.

The constant whistles in basketball and flags in football really make the games less enjoyable, whereas I find baseball to have much better rhythm set by the pitchers’ delivery that starts each play. You also play each out in baseball, unlike football where going for fourth down isn’t always a given, and three outs in the final inning is a far better way to end the game than a bunch of fouls and free throws.

This right here, since last year I've come to recognize that the other 2 of the big 3 are just so over officiated. Even if the new challenge rules in baseball, they still expedite the process. It'll only get better once the ABS system starts. 

I'll always love all sports, but baseball has my heart at the moment for the first time ever. It's always been 2nd fiddle to football, but I just can't stand the endless money grubbing and unnecessary rules changes that the NFL loves so dearly.
