There's no percentage in being right about a baseball team you care about. It's nice to feel smart, I guess, but "feeling smart" and for that matter "being right" are not really what I got into any of this for.
The consumer relationship is easier to produce and reproduce, and much more readily leveraged. It reflects the way in which owners and executive types understand more or less everything.
What I want, more than anything else, is to be surprised. This doesn't stop me from reading and talking and thinking about every knowable or notionally knowable thing having to do with the New York Mets.
It fits, in a bleak sort of way, that those are the types of fans sports leagues seem to be selecting for, or actively trying to create.
