@BrianAckerman77 @DylanG1100 @col_trainor #SRM3224 #Group1 they deserve to be in, if not all of them at least Bonds. He had an entire HOF career in Pittsburgh before ever taking steroids and is probably a top 3-5 player ever in my opinion

@caseyb3224 @TommyCat215 #srm3224 #group1 people will always love the underdog. I remember when the warriors first became good with curry everyone wanted to see them win but during the finals in their 73-9 season everyone wanted to see them fail, similar to the undefeated patriots in 07 in the Super Bowl

@BrianAckerman77 @DylanG1100 @col_trainor #srm3224 #group1 the steroid era as a whole is a really interesting debate for players being disqualified by media. None of those guys (Bonds, Sosa, McGwire) will ever sniff the Hall of Fame because of it, but in reality they’re still some of the greatest to ever play

@jack7schultz @lefthandhunchoo #srm3224 #group1 I would say LeBron is the most glorified ever. Brady is the GOAT but was surrounded by controversy often maybe he’s the most amplified ever?

@jack7schultz @curti_julie #srm3224 #group1 I think it really just depends on the player in that case. For some I’m sure no fans and strictly playing basketball made it an easy road, for others they feed of the crowds energy and we’re probably deflated. I’m sure they were all glad for no travel and media

@DGriff93901 @TommyCat215 #srm3224 #group1 I think both but of course it’s being amplified by the NFL to grow their female fan base

[Nate Bash @NateBash_]

#srm3224 #group1 A current example of an athlete being disqualified by media would be Jayden Daniels in the Heisman race. He clearly has the best stats in the country but because LSU is 9-3 most media outlets give him minimal consideration when discussing the award

[Nate Bash @NateBash_]

@jack7schultz #SRM3224 #Group1 Yeah all the champions that year seem to have an asterisk next to their name nobody really cared about the Dodgers win either since it was a shortened 60 game season

[Nate Bash @NateBash_]

@BrianAckerman77 @DGriff93901 @col_trainor #srm3224 #group1 it will be interesting to see if media is as focused on him next season since he won’t be able to pitch. I think where he ends up in free agency will also have an impact, but if he signs with the dodgers the media circus around him will only get worse

[Nate Bash @NateBash_]

@curti_julie #srm3224 #group1 I think it has to have a huge impact they pay the leagues a ton of money for broadcasting and media rights it would only make sense they would cater to what the fans want to see to make that investment worth while. I wonder if it’s also driven by league officials

[Nate Bash @NateBash_]

@BrianAckerman77 @col_trainor #srm3224 #group1 yeah it’s awesome to get to watch Ohtani play but the glorification of him has definitely gotten out of control with most media companies cause I think the MLB is desperate to have a face of the league

[Nate Bash @NateBash_]

@caseyb3224 #srm3224 #group1 I think their stance on amateurism has faded as the NIL era has taken over however you could argue that previously amplifying college sports so much is what lead to NIL in the first place

[Nate Bash @NateBash_]

@col_trainor @curti_julie #srm3224 #group1 totally agree there is so much noise surrounding her and why she is suspended but there was never any official statement about it being a GPA issue if she wasn’t such a big name from last years tournament nobody would care

[Nate Bash @NateBash_]

#srm3224 When Magic Johnson was diagnosed with HIV his sponsorships with both Converse and Pepsi were terminated by the company because they didn’t want to be associated with him and the noise of the scandal

[Nate Bash @NateBash_]

@curti_julie @lefthandhunchoo @kaescobar13 #srm3224 #group1 I think this is tough cause there’s really nothing to base it off of. I definitely wouldn’t pay as much as an actual court side ticket. If this does become a reality I wonder if teams will have variable pricing and make VR tickets for more exciting games pricy

[Nate Bash @NateBash_]

@col_trainor @jack7schultz @ThistleSolomon #srm3224 #group1 can confirm this already exists and it is 🤣

[Nate Bash @NateBash_]

@DylanG1100 @TommyCat215 @DGriff93901 @col_trainor @curti_julie #srm3224 #group1

[Nate Bash @NateBash_]

#srm3224 #group1 I wonder if we’ll ever see AR replace traditional scoreboards inside stadiums. Take a look at the rams AR in SoFi stadium seems like the next step in AR at venues.

[Nate Bash @NateBash_]

@TommyCat215 @DGriff93901 @col_trainor @curti_julie #srm3224 #group1 I think this is a good way to look at robo umps or refs. They’ll be limited to their programming and could be throwing flags or calling strikes on borderline calls where you often see real life officials let players play to improve game flow.
