[–] Alienmonkey@mander.xyz 4 points 8 months ago* (3 children) I mute live sports, mainly American football. I'll pay the extra football package price, but you couldn't pay me to listen to the play by play. And I might pay a bit more to hear the crowd noises isolated, with ref announcements, if it was offered. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] FigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago (1 child) I distinctly remember that the NFL tried that out once, where they broadcast a game with no announcers. My Dad and I thought it was amazing, but evidently we were far and few between as I recall they only did it the one time. What I really don't understand is how they end a football game and then have to sit around for 20 mins rehashing the game they JUST SAW... "Remember that time the guy caught the ball and then ran?" "Oh yeah, that was like 10 whole mins ago." "That was so good." "Yeah." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago* Now, imagine that last bit but in attention-span-segments of random "highlights" during the game ...with several different instances of this bullshit grouped every 10ft or so within a ~500sq ft area, along with several TVs pointed inward at largely arbitrary angles and each set to combative volumes... I fucking hate "sports" bars. 🤬🤮🤬 permalink fedilink source parent [–] zuckey78@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago My wife and I have recently started muting the tv and streaming local radio announcers for the team. SOOO much more enjoyable. permalink fedilink source parent [–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago I’ve been saying this forever! I HATE the pointless idiotic commentary. I would gladly pay a premium to nuke that shit. I investigated writing a plugin (maybe for plex or jelly fin?) that would filter out the commentary audio, did a little proof of concept on a recorded clip that worked, but then realized that fleshing it out and doing it for a live stream would be a ton of work. Which means I wouldn’t have time to watch football on mute. permalink fedilink source parent
