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.

    I love when they start talking about non-sports topics and typically throw in a fake fact, misnomer, stereotypes, misconceptions.

    My favorite being “Oh, I heard airplanes cant take off when its too hot because the wheels will melt on the runway.”
