tha'ts what radio is for!
Sports radio is usually terrible though lol. Sports stuff is a legitimate hole here (compared to reddit), but I also have to imagine it's much more resource intensive to host/moderate. Game threads routinely get thousands or tens of thousands of comments -- it's a bunch of people in there for three hours straight -- and people yell at each other over sports all the time.
so how is random redditors talking sports better than sports radio?
If you want to know about or hear discussion around the game or something but are around other people without headphones, quietly reading what Redditors have to say is considered more polite than putting on the sports radio for everyone else to hear.
