Was unprofessional

I have been steaming for a week, and am now joining other letter-writers to this newspaper who commented on the same subject, namely the terrible, unprofessional conduct of the “color commentators” on the sidelines of the Arkansas-Ole Miss game.

They bantered about everything but the game; all small talk about the weather plus other topics, not related to anything that was happening on the field there, but rather what they conjured up as interesting among themselves. Their personal small talk actually detracted from the game and became the main subject of the TV commentary rather than describing the game itself.

My opinion is that the TV producers/editors/whoever determines the content being broadcast should monitor and immediately divert to material appropriate to the game rather than personal small talk, which is so unprofessional.
