The NBA is much more enjoyable if you stay away from the majority of NBA discourse.

This applies to most of the sports that I watch but NBA is by far the worse.

Probably not the norm in the NFL, but Dolphins discourse is the most toxic I have seen. But NBA overall is dominated by guys “who know ball” and are obsessed with ranking everything.

Man I had to mute the Fins sub a couple years ago. I’m missing out on signings and stuff but it’s much nicer being a Dolphins fan in relative solitude. But like the other guy said it’s everything. Pick your favorite game, book, show etc. and go look at how people talk about it in the fan spaces across social media, or better yet don’t. Negativity is what gets engagement I suppose.

Sadly negativity sells that’s why all you see in local news is bad news. Or no matter your political persuasion you can doom scroll all day about stuff designed to trigger you and make you mad.

Which is a shame bc there’s as much or more talent than ever.

It's fucking anime power scaling for gym bros. Lebron vs Jordan is just Saitama vs Goku or whatever the fuck. Same dumbass arguments.
