for an example… you’ve got John Madden. one of the “best” announcers. at least, he’s the only announcer I know by name, as far as I’m concerned, American football is just a bunch of people in tights chasing other people in tights. fighting over something called a “pigskin”.

It would be patently absurd to say that Madden doesn’t care about the sport. He was player, retired into announcing. made amassive franchise off this stuff. with doozies like:

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

The best way to gain more yards is advance the ball down the field from the line of scrimmage.

Usually the team that scores the most points wins the game.

and those are just three of the many dozens I found inside of a ten second websearch.
