Interesting, I always watch games on mute. My inlaws quit coming over on Sundays because they need to hear that mindless banter during a game. I told them that football should be watched and not listened to.

The average viewer's attention span is getting shorter and shorter, a lack of announcer would only make it harder to be excited watching a random game.
Plus, the "newer" fan and a decent portion of the female population doesn't understand what they are seeing anyway, so commentary is needed.

Good question, I usually watch games on mute. I'll turn it up to hear a penalty explained but other than that, I don't want to hear the insipid commentary.
