Why is it BAD that the Warrior’s announcers are “Homers”?
It doesn’t make sense to me. The people watching the GS feed are Warrior’s fans. Why would we want a neutral broadcast? I understand this bothers fans of other teams watching the GS feed but why should WE care? It’s OUR feed. You can watch the other team’s feed if you hate the Warriors so much.
As an aside, I grew up as a Knicks fan and those games were called by Marv Albert or Bob Costas and they were huge Michael Jordan homers. It was unbearable. I want a feed for the Knick’s fan. Not for our nemisis.

It’s not that they support the warriors it’s that they’re actively watching the game like fans with no level of objectivity. I’m watching the Blazers broadcast rn and it’s night and day from what I was listening to last night
OP you are the problem
So if I go away, it’s fixed?
I figured I’d trigger you enough to reply with that one lmao
Why do you care so much how fans of other teams view the announcers of your favorite team lmao? Who gives a fuck?
i will never understand why people hate announcers who are homers. i fucking love it, its like watching the game with another fan, they’re happy when you are, they’re pissed when you are. i do not see one problem with it
Its fine being a homer. Jack Armstrong (the Raptors color commentator) is a certified homer. but there is a difference between what he (and other announcers do), and the Warriors announcers making excuses for Draymond trying to choke out Gobert.
so neutral fans complain about the warriors announcers and don’t watch it. if you like it why do you care ?
Because you only play half your games at home that’s half the season you play with other teams broadcasters. Imagine if half the games you watched you had to listen to how great the home team is even when they are down by 20. Imagine listening to a rockets broadcast when Steph Curry drops 50 but Dillon Brooks scores 35 and that’s all they talk about.
Being biased is fine but you need to have some semblance of balance to it where you credit the opposition and talk about them aswell. This isn’t politics where your side good their side bad.
It’s not bad that they are homers, it’s bad that they are delusional and ruin the game with their whiney commentary.
Take the Hornets announcers. They can be “homers” but I love them because they’re fun; the Warrior announcers aren’t fun.
The warriors fans being insufferable is partly a result of the announcers. When they hear that every call is a bad call and every misfortune is just the league being against their team it is bad for the fans mindset too. It’s also robbing those who have to listen to their nonsense of a chance at learning about the game
It’s cuz they say stupid stuff. Even the most homer-y fans want to feel like the announcers are reasonable people offering at least somewhat intelligent commentary. The degree of homerness in the face of all reason is what frustrates people, similar to Scal on the celtics
What the fuck is up with this new breed of warriors fan that needs to dick ride Fitz? We used to always hate him even in our own sub
They don’t have to be fair and balanced but they also don’t have to dick about everything and blatantly lies on obvious plays. It’s like everything in life, find a goddam balance.
It’s like listening to a non-parody version of this sketch https://youtu.be/GP_K5czbny4?feature=shared
…how are you a Knicks fan and don’t appreciate an objective broadcast? Breen and Clyde are the textbook example and still love the Knicks.
Edit: ok I reread and maybe you aren’t a Knicks fan anymore, but I’m sure you’ve still come across Breen and Clyde calling games at some point. Mavs broadcast team is another good example.
Who cares. Let people cry about what they want to cry about.
