Hilariously apt that your description of just enjoying sports without the additional, mostly unrelated effort to do media criticism is based on wandering into open water. I felt the same way. Like "am ... am I allowed to just not give a shit?"

Turns out the answer is "yes". The best part of any athletic contest is incredible athletes coming together to try and be amazing. People who get paid to comment on sports are very stupid and very boring. They are hired because of this, not in spite of this.
