Why don’t announcers say the score more often?

I had this thought yesterday. If you just relied on the audio you’d be confused as hell.

It would be a bit redundant if they kept announcing the score when its on the screen.

Perhaps you should open your eyes and read the bottom of the screen.

Broadcast catering foolishly to viewers with their eyes open.

1. This would require the announcers saying the score more often to help.

2. If they're saying the score more often, he can keep his eyes closed, thus the closed captions will be rendered useless.

In 2021? They are trying to call the game and put their kids to bed at the same time.

Not complaining but you must not know who Steve Sparks is

i understand why but have had this same thought many times. i will put games on espn3 or espn+ or during the tourney the march madness on demand app on my phone while driving.

i am not watching, dont worry, just putting my phone in a cup holder or in the passenger seat and playing the sound through bluetooth audio and treating it like a radio broadcast. but you absolutely never get a score update, it's interesting. makes sense of course, but i still find it interesting.
