You wouldn't go to the movies and be forced to listen to the director's commentary while watching the main film, right?

So, why are we forced to endure pundits' commentary during live sports events?

Muting the sound detracts from the overall experience.

Too often, commentary can be angry, bumbling, dull, and patronising, fixating on irrelevant details.

Think back to the recent England vs Denmark Euro game or the Draper vs Alcaraz tennis match at Queen's on the BBC—both marred by subpar commentary (which was almost as bad as the football on show).

Let's put an end to this tiresome ordeal.

Join us in signing this petition to advocate for an option that allows sports fans to enjoy events without commentary.

P.S. It might even save the BBC some money, too!
