I like football as a sport because it is such a tactical and strategic game, and I never got why people stereotyped it as a "sport for meatheads". But, its a shame that the biggest and most prominent football league and competition in the us (and in the world) is cucked as fucked (as pretty much every other major sporting league is). It's funny too because I doubt the subhuman faggots who would get mad over what a shock jock radio host said are the type of people who play and watch football anyways. It's funny too because soccer leagues in europe are less pozzed than this, and soccer was always known as the "pussy sport".
The "updates" to Baseball have diminished the strategic elements. The removal of time for the defense and the addition of designated hitters for the NL offense have significantly lessened the burden on teams to make good strategic decisions about who pitches, and when.
This accompanies anti-strategy decisions like the removal of the shifted infield, the inability of managers to change coverage in the outfield, and other defensive decisions that made baseball a strategic game in the first place.
They're trying to make baseball a game like basketball, with scoring the only aim.
Yeah, make baseball great again. It used to be a slowburn strategy game which rewarded patience and didn't hinge entirely on a small selection of star players. But every sport over the last 30 years has been a race to the bottom, they've all been changing the rules to to punish intellectual plays and reward sheer athleticism over team cohesion. Even Basketball used to be a much more thoughtful game which required more cooperation between players.
30 years ago, basketball strategy involved a whiteboard and a series of planned passes. Now it's "get the guy we're paying $40m a year the ball every chance you get".

True. Football is tactical and strategic but I’d say baseball is more so. Or maybe more analytical. Granted it’s my favorite sport but I’m biased.

That is a good point.
