For clarity I just mean watching hockey. As far as American sports go hockey is so much more appealing than football or baseball. It has all the suspense of baseball, the speed of basketball, and the physicality of football plus everyone's skating. Plus they're not constantly taking penalty shots and pretending to get hurt like in basketball. Also strangely enough illegal hockey streams are the only ones I've seen where no one is saying racist/homophobic/transphobic/other reactionary shit.
It’s def the puck. Hard to casually watch the sport because most people can’t follow it. Baseball and basketball also sound a lot better on radio. And idk hockey is full of white guys. I’m sure there’re just not as racist because there’s not as many black players.
