In the entertainment world, there are different mediums for different artists. If you’re an actor, the stage is where you have the most control of your performance. Television, on the other hand, is a writer’s playground where you can craft a story over multiple episodes and seasons. Directors are the auteurs of film. You know what you’re getting from Scorsese, Hitchcock, and Tarantino.
In sports, there are similar comparisons. Nowadays, baseball teams are seemingly built in a lab with analytics and moneyball economics guiding their front offices. The NFL belongs, well, to its owners and a league office that rules with an iron fist.
