At the roller derby

At the roller derby right now. Thinking about sounds and sports. The announcer's comments are so secondary in terms of what sounds take priority when you're actually there. Whereas when you watch a sporting event on TV, the announcer is overwhelmingly the voice that you hear. Following that, that means that on tv, your experience of the event is shaped by the announcer more than if you were actually there. Attached is a short clip of the derby.
