Quote: HXSparky "For me, this is simple. The game is a fine spectacle (generally), but the commentary that goes with the live games is appalling.
Almost all reading this will attend live games, and live/breathe the tension and admire the skills/abilities/fitness of the players that take to the field of play.
I record all SL games, but tbh only watch a small proportion of them. Lack of spare time is a factor for me (and a daughter that commandeers the remote!), but the same old, same old, comments don't really make it compelling watch.
Tbh, watching on TV is a very poor experience compared to "being there"!'"
You make some good points but to say 10s of 1000s of viewers have stopped watching all of a sudden because of poop commentary doesn't ring true as haven't they always been poop?
