View Full Version : Why do you have John Mcenroe providing punditry on beach volleyball

and Michael Johnson on diving, rather than experts on the sports?
I don't give much of a fúck about either sport, but on an occasion that I find myself watching one of them (i.e. when it's on prime time tv), I'd quite like someone to be able to tell me about the tactics and techniques involved? http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/shrug.gif

Therefore, there are no prime time pundits. So it may as well be those two as anybody else; both extremely popular fellows, so I gather.

Everytime I've tried to watch it, there's been no commentary - which made it rather tricky when there was a bit of a disagreement going on between the ref and one of the players.
If I cared about the sport, I'd have been most cross. I suspect that only about 5 people in the country DO actually care about handball, though.

would be alienated by an unrecognisable expert talking about technical side of a minority sport and so choose to go with a the safe option of a celebrity, even if they offer little besides a familiar face?

People, rightly, in my view, prefer the latter.
