In fairness, I find the rules for American Football confusing, too, and I’ve been watching all my life. I am still not quite sure what Pass Interference is anymore. My kids are not sports fans at all, and when I explain what is going on it makes it all sound like Calvinball.

Baseball is a bit simpler in that respect. “Tag the guy after you catch the ball” is simple, as is “safe” vs. “out”. We’ll just skip over the infield fly rule, or whatever the hell a balk is. (I admit, one of the things I miss about the Other Place is the liberal application of Jon Bois’ Balk Rules copypasta…)
