When players step onto the field, they represent their nations, carrying the hopes and dreams of millions. But commentators? They’re playing a whole different game. They don’t represent countries or flags—they represent the sport.
And here’s the thing: you don’t watch commentators fighting for national pride. Why? Because commentary isn’t a competitive job; it’s an interpretative one. A commentator’s role is to elevate the game, not themselves. Their allegiance lies with the sport, ensuring every viewer—regardless of where they come from—feels the thrill, the drama, and the magic of the moment.
Imagine if commentary turned nationalistic:
A cricket commentator ignoring a stunning boundary from the opposing team?
A football analyst downplaying a rival nation’s extraordinary goal?
