Any professional sports league amounts to a nationwide knitting circle. Players gossip. Did you hear how that one team makes its players travel? Do you know how that other team treats players’ families? Have you heard about the food? The facilities? The parking lots? The chairs? The drinking fountain water’s not cold over here. The shower water isn’t hot over there. No element of a franchise is beyond inspection or dissection, praise or disdain.
