Do the NBC commentators seem sadistic at times to you, too?

Question

They run to interview people at the most painful moments of their lives and then ask them "What is your emotion right now?" Makes me SICK.

Answer 1

Mahahaha.  True.  I wonder if they've had an interview with elbow-weightlifting boy yet.  I don't really watch the NBC.  I watch CBC - I think their coverage has been fantastic.  Their interviews with athletes are interesting, informative.  Not terribly sadistic.  

The NBC commentators drive me nuts - they're not particularily knowledgable or objective in my mind.  I watch the diving and they ignore a lot of quite visible flaws in some divers, and yet whine and whine about minor flaws that quite obviously the judges, without the luxury of super-slo-mo-technology, sitting at poolside cannot see.  Judges see splash and height.  Not necessarily the feet slipping apart as their flipping around like mad in the air.  They're just really irritating.

At least CBC hires people whose voices don't make you want to puncture your inner ear on the first object handy - dull or sharp.

Answer 2

They are commentators they are supposed to be sadistic it gets them more attention and news.  

Answer 3

What would you ask them?

This happens in ever sport in every country! Press conferences after the games both winning and losing teams speak. Someone in the press in bound to ask something like that.

Answer 4

That's television for you.  They want the ratings and they'lI do anything for ratings.

Answer 5

I know!! I was a little angry when he said that, and Like they did to Alicia Sacramone!! They made the poor girl cry

Answer 6

Most of those talking heads are vultures.
