Why do sports commentators talk soft bullshit?

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.

It is really frustrating. I blame Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless. Kidding, but seriously. That style of commentary is absolute crap. Yelling is not an affective way to get your point across.

TO ME THAT'S ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS

NO YOU'RE RIDICULOUS! PIMENTO64 HAS NO HEART! THEY'RE A CHUMP! A CHUMP I TELL YOU! HOW MANY RINGS DOES PIMENTO64 EVEN HAVE??!?!?!

IT'S PLENTY AFFECTIVE :(((
