It just surprises me so many people want to watch shows about people who never competed in that sport acting like they are experts. You can argue some people may be more analytical and observant but to think they are worth listening to for opinion on a weekly basis is just flat out stupid. If you really like football, listen to a coach or player. Same with MMA. That’s actually something good UFC hs going making sure a lot of their commentators are fighters. It’s not perfect but I don’t really like these career broadcasters that aren’t actually invested in every sport they cover.
The ones with the ex-players can actually be the worst. The worst sports show is antichambre on RDS. It's basically only ex Montreal players and coaches and it's a good thing these shows exist because these ninjas are not employable otherwise. What a bunch of yokels. My team was unfortunate enough to hire a coach who was a commentator on that show for a second time and that was an absolute disaster.
