Coverage of a tournament, I think, in a S. American country.
Men's match. Contestants, a player, last name, "Barrie (sp.)," vs. Francis Tiafoe (sp.?). The announcer mostly referred to Tiafoe (who is black), by his first name, whereas he referred to the white opponent by his last name. I thought that was demeaning to the black player. Also, the same announcer often emphasized that the above named Barrie, had a very fast serve, which he did! But, your announcer never once, while I watched for about 40 minutes, gave the SPEED of the man's serve! Nor, was the speed of the heavy server shown on the screen, or displayed near the court. Also, again, for all the time I watched the station, the announcer NEVER told WHERE they were playing, or the name of the tournament. Where were they playing? Also, I don't blame the announcer, but the scoreboard display confused me when the score was "ad in" or "ad out." The board showed the word "ad" by the appropriate player, but it also showed "40" by the opponent's name. I thought that was confusing. I never saw a tennis score of "ad" in or out listed this way, with the 40 by the other player's name. I wish the announcer had identified himself along the way. Who was it? I would appreciate a reply. Nice of you to reach out to me, so far. How about "Annoyed Customer?" "Pissed" sounds unprofessional and even childish.
