The sports-based manosphere has evolved into a culture where engagement, regardless of quality, is prioritized over decorum. Traditional constraints that once existed for sports commentators have disappeared, leading to an intersection of sports broadcasts, podcasts, and social media. This new environment allows for a blend of ideas and testosterone, celebrating traditional male values, veneration of the military, and the thrill of gambling. Recurring themes include the denigration of women and opposition to what is deemed 'woke' culture, creating a notable shift in the landscape of sports discourse.
Today’s sports broadcast world runs according to a new set of rules, where all engagement is good engagement, and the best type of filter is no filter.
There’s a reciprocal flow of testosterone and ideas between sports shows, social media, and real life, blurring the lines of traditional decorum.
A handful of subjects recur in this environment: glorification of strength, military veneration, celebration of gambling, and the denigration of women.
Faint norms of decorum that once constrained professional sports talkers have completely faded, making way for a more uninhibited discourse.
