Why do sports commentators talk soft bullshit? - eviltoast

No shit skip, of course they shouldn’t turn the ball over, or get red cards, or what the fuck ever. Passing gas in the bathroom and think it’s perfume; literally shitty analysis I just heard on ESPN.

Why don’t sports commentators actually break down plays and strategy?

Only one I can think of is jomboy breaks down pitches sometimes. Showed that the pitcher was releasing at the top of the throw for like 4 pitches of sliders then released like 20 degrees sidearm with another slider but because it was released differently it caught the batter and struck them out. Beautiful breakdown and I appreciated the sport and gamesmanship even more.

    Battle bots. or if you’d prefer something a bit more collaborative, there’s the FIRST leagues. (seriously some impressive robots in there. Kids these days… hehe.) alternatively… you could always… you know… find another hobby. whatever entertains you.
