Imagine watching sports without live commentary. It doesn\u2019t sound like it\u2019d be enjoyable, right? There\u2019s something calming about watching a game and hearing familiar voices of announcers we know and love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sports broadcasters, also called commentators, have crucial roles that both augment and aid the action on the field. The play-by-play report on the field helps laymen in understanding the game and adds to their enjoyment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, commentators are often criticized by fans for being supposedly biased or not being good enough. But little do fans realize that becoming a professional broadcaster is the result of talent and dedication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, most broadcasters are former players themselves. But even so, commentating requires skill sets that are unique on their own. This is why not all former athletes end up becoming good broadcasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Times have fast changed, and so has the world of sports. The profession, which was once dominated by white people, now features a host of talented people from the Black community. With that in mind, here are 20 famous Black sports commentators who are great at doing what they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
