> Soccer is exclusively about atmosphere and identity, so the experience of being in the crowd and the experience of the game itself are only nominally associated, in the same way going to see the Grateful Dead in the late 1980s was only nominally about music.

This man has absolutely no idea what he's talking about x)

i like thinking of tv as an art form, and football as the artist that perfected it

Bit silly considering the scoreboard typically has a TV that shows the most important bits that would have been seen at home anyway. His argument may have made sense in 1980 before TVs were introduced in stadiums.

For an actually interesting topic worthy of your time, check out how 1st down markers are calculated and shown on screen at home. It’s much more complicated than you’d think.

The article repeats itself several times without any new substance, and then drivels nonsense — TV is psychological fascism?

The author keeps restating their thesis without offering much to support it. It's infuriating.

No evidence or supporting material, just continued insistence that the author is correct.

“I can’t crawl inside your skull and prove you wrong. But this is how it works for most people, including most who insist it does not.“

Consider this direct excerpt of 2 back to back sentences and how 1 contradicts the other.

You can’t crawl inside my skull, but you can crawl inside everyone else’s?
