Commentary is underated in sports and commentators are not giving enough recognition for the role they play in sports.
I had this recent experience where I streamed live a recent premier league game and it had no audio, although it was expected to be an exciting game, I did not enjoy the game, not until the audio came up and i could now hear the commentary.
Commentators add colour and enhance our viewing experience, they are well informed about the sport and the teams in contest, and give real time updates on a live game that can even make someone new to a sport pick interest. Without commentary and sports commentators, some sporting games will be entirely very unexciting and eventually boring to watch.
Can you enjoy your sports viewing experience without commentary and commentators?
The commentator and commentaries play an important role in the sports they are in Because I agree with what you said that without this dual there is no life watching sports in reality. And it comes alive because of bringing in commentators, where the viewers in turn go along with what a commentator is saying too. Apparently, the commentators also bring the movement and enthusiasm of the viewers if they are not lively and their commentaries are lifeless, the audience watching sports is certainly lifeless.
That's why I can only enjoy watching sports if the role of a commentator can be played correctly and properly in the comments to be made.
