Sports Centre presenters driving me nuts

Mr Careem, please, please start a course for sports commentators and presenters.

Those bozos at Sports Centre, the twice-nightly cringeathon aired by ESPN STAR Sports (ESS), are driving me crazy.

I do not know who gave the order to dumb down the sports news, or why, but presenters Colette Wong, Uday Joshi and Steve Dawson have obliged to the full.

The inane jokes, insane laughing and, in the case of Colette, insufferable SHOUTING, put the programme off limits to anybody who treasures their sanity.

Okay, sometimes I tune in to watch the action but rarely do I subject myself to the idiocy that characterises the on screen personas of Wong, Joshi and Dawson.

Sports news can be presented soberly and sensibly yet still be entertaining, an art form perfected by the anchors of CNN”s highly watchable World Sport.

There will be an argument that ESS and CNN are targeting different audiences but surely there is not a huge strait-jacketed viewership out there watching television in padded rooms.

Yet, that seems to be the only demographic that Sports Centre would appeal to such is the raving madness of the presenters.

So, Mr Careem, take on the task of grooming the next generation of sports presenters who are in it to inform not for laughs.

Or, at the very least, start a campaign to banish Wong, Joshi, Dawson, along with that equally imbecilic Andy Penders, from our screens.
