Isn't it kinda hard to be entertained by sports like soccer, baseball and hockey when the score is like 0-0 or something?
So last night I found myself watching a soccer game (that's right fellow Americans, Soccer is an actual sport, and we have our own league and everything).
Anyway, the game went for 45 straight minutes (God bless this sport for not having commercials in between plays like the rest of em) and went into halftime tied 0-0..........And that's when I started thinking........I have a true respect for the announcers and analysts of this sport. Think of how hard it must be to announce a game with no f*cking score and make it sound entertaining and exciting. My favorite has to be the halftime show. Every sport on TV has one. But picture the one where the two teams playing are tied with Zip. I thoroughly enjoyed watching these guys praise the players who "ran really well", or "made really nice cuts" and "made great passes".
Its the funniest thing to me. It seems like it takes forever for the players to get the ball 'way on the other side of the field' over on the opposing teams goal. And then, just when they are about to do something, the ball goes out of bounds, or a defender wins the ball and kicks it........way over on the other side of the field.......and we start all over again.....LOL.....
But the announcers make it sound like its game 7 of the world series, or NBA championship, or the Superbowl........And don't even get me started with the Spanish announcers......These poor guys sound like they are going to have a heart attack every time someone scores a goal......You know what? I think that politicians should hire these spanish announcers to be their spokesman during campaigns. You can't help but get pumped up when you hear these guys call games like the world is going to end if their team doesn't win.
Maybe corporations should use these guys to boost morale..............The next time a company is about to go bankrupt, or lay off people, they should hire these announcers to come in and speak. They can have a "halftime show" where they praise the employees for their hard work, efforts to not use much sick time, and ability to keep the bathrooms clean. Then announce that everyone is out of a job..... Maybe less people would go 'postal' if soccer announcers were brought it in as consultants and assisted with firings and layoffs.
