badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

You're missing the point by getting into tangential semantics.
There are 43 cities that do currently have pro sports teams, 3 of which have the ability to double up. That is more than enough to make sure that there is a scarcity where each of the league's 32 teams will always have the option or at least the threat to go somewhere else. "Legitimacy" and "brand recognition" of a team have already proven to be a joke, totally manageable by the budget and monopoly of the major leagues where they can move a team around and nothing really changes.
There's a supporting point to be made about the conservative nature of American society, but if you're doubting that a new sports team could be brought into a league, you're denonstrating that point.
The main point is about the outcome of fixed supply and increased demand, not about "will people actually go to watch live sports" (spoiler alert: they will).
