the key inaccuracy you see in sports yaoi a lot isn’t actually people not knowing how these games and leagues work it’s people who don’t watch sports having no metric for what kind of gay stuff is acceptable for straight guy athletes to do together and what kind of gay stuff is gay
there's a book, "Not Gay: Sex Between Straight White Men", which talks about the homosexual and homoerotic ways that straight men in homosocial environments (like sports) use objectively gay behavior to construct heteromasculinity. I think about it alot when I watch sports yaoi
