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.
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.
