Two sports doc recommendations that I adored: “LFG,” about the US women’s national team’s fight for equal pay; and “144,” about the 2020 WNBA season played in “the wubble.”
(Can I use a semicolon when my list is only two items? Should I have found a third item?)
Funny thing sports. To me at least. My friends are into sports to the extent they'll bet on finals and other big events. This year's March Madness I was somehow goaded into participating. I filled out a bracket without any knowledge of what had happened during the season. There was excitement in the learning the outcomes of each game and watching "your teams" advance. But I didn't CARE! Maybe I just wanted to be a part of the.. hooey?
My buddy Tom has an annual March Madness bracket that I fill out as fast as I possibly can. I think I've got it down to about two minutes. I don't even check it after I've filled it out, figuring if I won he'll let me know. I've never won.
Can't recall who, but I heard some comic going on about how the greatest soap opera of all time is sports. Players come and go and then reappear in some other improbable role years later. Also, you can drop in and out any time and still pick up the narrative when you come back.
Maybe they got a hold of this essay and stole your material.

I would have preferred a comm.

Same here. I think I just let some algorithm fill mine out.

That bastard!
Well said, sir! You might find this relatable as well: https://notcomplaining.substack.com/p/sports-a-complicated-relationship
Yep. Definitely related. Except that I actually have watched a lot of sports. It took me a long time to realize I was mostly bored.
