Spending the MLB season in NY and some of it in eastern Canada means that quite a few of the night games are starting at 945pm-1045pm-1100pm ... not really a good time for us older fans. I usually read through the Game Day thread rather than immediately look up the score. Much more enjoyable that way. Sort of like looking at a temperature guage as the game progresses.Why is this board so freaking dead?
But I also think that the pandemic has changed the way that many fans are approaching professional sports and how they are actually using their free time. IMHO... most fans have traditionally used professional sports as a leisure type of an escape from everyday life. Without access to a stadium or arena or whatever ... I think many of the casual fan base have just stopped following the team in general.
The ones that you see on forums and boards are quite a bit more invested than a typical 'casual' fan .. I wouldn't call anyone on this board a casual fan .. most are very emotionally invested
