Oh no, Anonus likes baseball. How awful and wrong.
Pennsylvania has weirdly high populations of Greeks and Armenians and such. I know that a lot of them settled here after the Three Pashas began their genocide campaign, but why here, I am not precisely sure.

It's unbecoming for nerds I fear
Also it means I'm an Oreo doesn't it
Now you're just being stupid.
Setting aside the fact that a lot of people of colour like and play sports, the Negro Leagues were one of the first really visible non-white sports organisations in the US. Like, what are you even talking about?
Also, you're mixed-race. I think that disqualifies you from that insult in the first place.
Which is funny, because football is even more involved from a strategic viewpoint, particularly on the player level. A football player needs to be fast and built, but he also needs to be able to keep all sorts of complicated manoeuvres and positions straight in his head while dealing with all this chaos on the field.
You know, according to the actual 1988 Jamaican bobsledding team, the East-German team was very nice and friendly and sent them a gift basket when they arrived.
What Vash is referencing always bothered me, since like all of the discussions I've seen, when it wasn't idolizing them as higher beings or some other weird idolatry, pret-ty much ignored the strategic element entirely in lieu of just talking about personal bests and seemingly not really... analyzing the game? It's sort of like the comics meta-narratives (which I am only using as an example and would not like to see lead to a nastier conversational thread), but with sports teams, and that always really rubbed me the wrong way. About equally to the seeming ignore of potentially debilitating injuries.
I mean I've gotten my strats fix from being into tennis but it still bothered me growing up. Don't want to give off the wrong impression by my positive comment being so much shorter than the complaining part, just what I would like to see is not my experience and finding what I'd like requires building back that initial investment and then doing some more searching. Egh.
Personal loyalty to sports teams has always been weird to me, because they're all composed of mercenaries who generally aren't from the city they're representing.

ive said this before but it would all be much more interesting to me if people rooted for teams based on which ones they thought were the most interesting from a strategic standpoint as opposed to which ones are from their state
My dad is more a fan of particular players and coaches who demonstrate really exceptional skills or strategic insight, and there are plenty of people on sports radio who think similarly, but part of their enthusiasm is the desire for someone like that to play for their city, or to just put on a good show. There was one running back from years ago who Dad showed me and Mom a bunch of videos of—Barry Sanders, it was—who was just entrancing. This guy danced around men twice his size, got them to spin around three times, flew out of pileups of six, eight, ten men. That's amazing.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
Also it's fun to watch minutia like how two of the members (the Cubs' Javier Baez and the Indians' Francisco Lindor) of the opposing teams were clearly bros
I've noticed that not all of the sports radio folks are actually so bad as the worst stereotype, though I still find myself not caring for them anyway. The fervor saps me while reading text does the opposite (save for tennis or swimming), which contributed to my getting only so much understanding from other commentators, something I didn't notice until much later when my interests had already drifted and fixated differently.

What is MSG IBO?
Also, another admission: chronic traumatic encephalopathy cuts into whatever appeal football would have to me, despite it not having much even before I found out about it
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans, the newest in a very long line of giant robot shows that are only kind of about giant robots but mostly about war and emotions.
Beyond generalizations (the likes of which Vash brought up), I can only speak for MSG IBO, though... probably not that one specifically, at least? There's a lot of death (as expected from being about war), war never stops being a central focus, and while the suffering isn't needlessly grim or tasteless to me, it also strikes me as something that would make you very uncomfortable. But I could be wrong. The entire first season is free to watch on Crunchyroll, so I suggest checking out the first three episodes for a good snapshot of what it's like.
there's also a sort of gundam spectum of darkness. IBO is, as far as i understand, pretty much the darkest gundam so far. most of them are varying levels of dark so sometimes people are like yeah i like gundam a but not gundam b, that's too edgy.

I mean, I guess you'd expect that more of an Iggles fan, but Greek street food is a Pennsylvania tradition.

now for vore jokes

All told, it's not an inaccurate description of Tumblr/Twitter Marxist reasoning.
Though I know they are useful, I feel that the emphasis on them a lot of discussion has undercuts the human element that I appreciate.

The ancient Japanese art of meming hard or hardly meming.
