So i get it, some people like Sheldon's way of commentating.
I don't not because i don't like sheldon but because I'm far away and sometimes i have to dial in to listen. Heaven forbid he commentated in my school days.
EVERYONE that knows me well knows i spent my educative years with a computaform and a radio with me all the time. Those days there were no cell phones. So i had a little radio, carried it with me everywhere even to school. Had Sheldon been around those days commentating on the radio he would have been sacked no doubt about it.
Its easy to say "if you don't like it turn off the sound"
That is the most pathetic answer ever. Of course you can turn off the sound you still have your eyes to see the result and where your horse ran. so it makes no difference.
BUT to the people that cannot see the race, whether they in the toilet at the racecourse, driving to Carlisle or in movie house with an ear piece in HIS JOB is to describe the race and as many of its participants as possible.
I think the problem here is that many feel he tends to talk up a horse that people perceive he has backed. Let's flip the argument on it's head. If he gave the viewer/listener the first 5 finishers to cross the line, but in the same manner/tone (whatever) of commentary, would it make anyone feel any better?
I don't know Sheldon personally, but for those who do, have you ever brought this up with him - constructive criticism is welcomed by most, surely he won't get upset?
