I think you have to be a fan of baseball to appreciate films like that. I’ve never gotten much into sports (save for a brief foray into tennis 2 decades ago, which had more to do with watching women), so I’ve never understood the obsession with it.
Women’s tennis: You beast!
Baseball on TV can be very boring. Throw in the amount of ads (like the NFL, it’s worse than ever this year, which is why I’m not watching much), the attitude of many of the players, and yes, it’s easy not to be a fan of sports.
