I’m a Yankees fan so I love it, but I understand how people will hate it because of how many championships we’ve won throughout the ancient history of baseball, but I’m curious if anyone here who isn’t a Yankees or Dodgers fan plans on watching it.
I know millions upon millions of Japanese people plan on watching it due to Ohtani, and it will probably be the most watched World Series of all time just because of Ohtani.
I'm from outside the US but I started to get interested in baseball in recent years. All I know is that the Yankees are a huge team and that the Dodgers represent a cancerous city (LA) plus they wear a very faggy kit (edit: I remembered wrong, I was thinking of the Padres City Connect kit). In an attempt to avoid watching the most grievous BLM-kneelers and homo-worshippers, I picked (with my gut) the St. Louis Cardinals to follow this year, but in the end I didn't get much viewing done at all.
Baseball fans, what are the prospects for anyone hoping to watch and learn about pro baseball without being forced to swallow propaganda, and how much will likely feature in the World Series? For example I know with football (be it the US or euro kind) it's completely impossible.
In the World Series, I'm actually not sure. Because of how baseball works, the only time for 'propaganda' would be the choice of who throws out the ceremonial first pitches, but as the first game of the World Series is on Friday (in the US, might be Saturday if you're from Europe), no one knows who is going to be throwing out the first pitch.
Within the broadcasts themselves, they keep it on the game itself, unless the home team is running a special promotion at the stadium, in which case the local home broadcast will show off that promotion, but since this is the postseason, it's nationally televised and those special promotions don't happen in the postseason, so it should be relatively politics free, unless they have Kamala come out as she is from California.
