Larry David's Jets-bashing Curb Your Enthusiasm episode is a continuation of his Seinfeld dark comedic sports fandom

The Ringer

From Curb to Seinfeld, David has a long history of turning his real-life sporting pain into absurdy dark comedy. "David has made it a personal pastime to make his feelings known, particularly when it comes to the Jets," says Katie Baker, adding: "It’s not just a bit, though. In life, David also earnestly engages real professionals—GMs, quarterbacks, coaches—with his personal opinions, delivering his thoughts with the same zeal he might use to give someone a Big Goodbye or scold them for not respecting the wood. Viewed that way, David’s love/hate of sports makes perfect sense: Sports provide a socially acceptable forum for his nonstop complaints, regrets, shoulda-woulda-couldas, and laundry lists of enemies and perceived slights."
