On Football TV Coverage

Football coverage in Germany is terrible. No matter what broadcasting network, they always seem to find men who have never played or even watched a game of football and hand them a microphone to enlighten viewers with their pathetic lack of understanding of the game and their questionable interpretation of the game’s rules. The “unnatural position of hands” to decide handball or not, that was German commentators who started it ten years ago. You are very welcome, world. It was so bad we sometimes turned off the TV’s sound and played radio commentary instead. And people welcomed alternative online streams that networks introduced, which didn’t have commentary at all.

I didn’t think you could do any worse, but as it turns out, you can.
