Talking about other games during a broadcast of any sport is callous, rude, inappropriate.
We are not living in the sixties. We record many events and plan to watch them at times other than when originally broadcast. We can pull up rebroadcasts online of most events.
Being told results during another broadcast destroys the anticipation and surprise of watching other games we have recorded. It is like the proverbial jerk who tells you the ending of a book or movie.
We have the option of not watching a sports recap show, not watching the halftime commenting, etc. We don’t have any choice when information about another event is blurted out, often several times. Muting the television is an option, but you then lose discussion and color comments for the event you are watching that you also enjoy.
Today I am watching the Hungary-Germany Nations League soccer game recorded on FS1. One of the commentators has repeatedly talked of the England game. I quickly try to mute him before hearing anything important. I do not feel I should have to.
It is not hard to remember to stick with the game at hand and let us watch the other games without your comments ruining them for us.
Please! Common sense. And please! Tell your commenters to not do it or to find another job. There are plenty of folks who would eagerly take their jobs and frankly, do just as good a job or better!
