I don't understand it too. Why u bring race to this subject?!?


Just in case ...

A color commentator is a North American term for a sports commentator who assists the main commentator, often by filling in any time when play is not in progress. In other regions this role is variously referred to as an analyst or summariser.

I see but it sound weird tbh :)

I think it comes from the 2nd commentator being free to fill in the gaps with commentary and analysis, where the first commentator usually is tied to a more straightforward narrative of the game. As in coloring book, the 1st commentator draws the lines and the 2nd commentator fills them with color. And the 2nd commentator is usually more colorful. And isn't it beautiful that the Wizards team had black and white, the United Colors of Washington.

Petition in OP up to 1,000 signatures. Another petition is close to 800.

I hate CSN and Monumental.

You just know they're gonna get some young millennial to spice up the commentary! Someone who yells "WOOO YESSIR! HE BROKE DEM ANKLES, BOY!!" at every play

The ratings should improve next season not because of the new color analyst. How about better production? Better camera angles. No irrelevant Chris Miller interviews in the middle of the game taking away from the action from some sponsor or Arena Football League hype. Maybe a quick halftime interview with Brooks or an assistant coach instead of a player.


Yeah, they should fire the producer before anyone. We're constantly missing plays due to poorly timed cuts between cameras and the Chris Miller fluff interviews during the game are just intolerable. Nothing against Chris, but just because its Polish Appreciation Night doesn't mean we need a Borscht recipe slapped across the feed during a third quarter run.

That said, the polish actress Miller interviewed was fine as ace.
