i feel like breaking out my “sports are a soap opera spectacle” articles now
The fact that so many sports dudes don’t recognise the soapieness of sports blows my mind. The commentators literally talk about “storylines” for the players!
yes!! the extensive, continuing narrative (championship droughts, rivalries, underdogs)! the heightened emotional involvement from both players and viewers! it’s all a variation on soaps!!
Exactly!! Plus and also, HALF THE GODDAMN LEAGUE watches the bachelor/the bachelorette in groups. There are Puck Personality videos listing all the soaps and dramas the players watch! Not even the athletes they’re marketing care about this false binary!!
literally all narrative (no matter the medium, scripted or unscripted) uses some type of soapy element. i know it’s just because it has a historically feminized connotation but c’mon y’all
Whoever made and greenlit this ad needs to go hug it out in therapy. Really deal with their repression.
there was another one that said “cooking competitions” instead of soap opera and like,,, inchresting what kind of ppl tend to be the audience for these types of programs
if the nhl wants me to believe that johnny toews, tyson barrie and jamie benn don’t regularly watch chopped, they’re on so many drugs
