Sports broadcasting’s parroting problem is bordering on the shameful

OK, time’s up. After 30 or so years, it’s time to end the Idiots’ Picnic, time to go home, time to remove the rehearsed-then-parroted nonsense from sports telecasts. 

First one that must go is “transfer portal.” That’s a crock. Those are, in fact, mostly NIL price-tagged signings of college athletes without academic credentials. They are free agents, too many without the ability to read or write functional English.
