I don’t know how I wound up reading about the Red Sox, but from Bill Simmons’ exchange with Michael Schur, this was just perfect:
The Difference Between Football And Baseball
↵↵Simmons: To be fair, Bud was committed to more important things, like making sure that no baseball fan can ever put up a fun baseball clip on YouTube.
↵Schur: Yeah. Sometimes it feels like the NFL is Google and MLB is Microsoft — they both make a ton of money, but somehow every decision MLB makes is just a little … off, somehow.
↵↵And if you’re wondering, the NBA is definitely Twitter in this analogy.
