I know they're out there, I know there's way more sports-following leftists than sportsball folk but holy shit, it's impossible to discuss sports on reddit in r/soccer or r/nba lest you get severe chud/liberal brain worms.
IRL pickup games are an easy way to make friends with non chuds but I are there any sports spaces on the internet that at least more left leaning?
Anybody who used to be connected to Deadspin normally has pretty good takes. I've found the comment sections on Secret Base, and basically any Jon Bois video to be pretty good. Otherwise it's always hit or miss. Lotta guys were into bagging on China during COVID but have backed off since.
