I like how disgust for me aligns everyone on the obvious wrong side of the debate. It's adorbs.
No need to make it personal. I don't think anyone's opinion on playoffs has anything to do with you.
The better way to think of this is that your preferences are different than those of "the masses", who are more interested in playoffs than you are. I know your opinion of "the masses" is not high, and I certainly share that with you, but the reason they have playoffs is that fans watch them. Simple as that.
It may not be your ideal, but you're an outlier.
Nothing wrong with being an outlier, but understand that there may not be a "wrong" or "right" side of this debate. There is a "popular" and "unpopular" side of this debate, and given that the popular side ALSO happens to generate ratings and $$$$$, and you can pretty well predict what's gonna happen.
There are a lot of popular things I'm not the least bit interested in, such as MLB, "The Bachelor/ette", and light beer. So I don't partake of those things (except the occasional light beer if it's all that's available, of course).
