[Triniboy]

The one and only reason for viewer drop-off are the 7 commentators,Bradshaw, Taylor inept and McAvaney is a try-hard.

It stems from producers thinking sports events need to be ENTERTAINMENT first and a sports contest second. Accuracy and efficiency in words these days don't cut it because the people who think matter most (i.e. NOT the viewer) think it's boring doing justice to what we see with 10 words instead of 30, many of which have tenuous relevance at best. Almost every commentator, play by play or special comments, are guilty of this yet the training they'll get will see this method become normal rather than what the sports fan wants.
