“…The commentator has a huge impact on how viewers perceive a soccer match. Thus, a reality of the sporting event is constructed that is dependent on the commentary (Bryant et al 1977;Schaffrath 2003), as the commentator sets the frame of the match (Barnfield 2013, p. 331). However, the commentator is not solely responsible for the viewers' perception of the match.…”

“…This article studies how German live soccer TV commentators perceive the tension between journalistic and entertainment values in their work. We thereby looked at a special type of sports journalist who has a major influence on how the audience perceives a match as it unfolds (Barnfield 2013;Danneboom 1988;Schaffrath 2003). As commentators accompany a soccer match, they provide information about the match and thus fulfill an orientation function, but they also express their own opinion and entertain the audience (Bölz 2018, pp.…”

Tension between Journalistic and Entertainment Values in Live Soccer TV Commentary: The Commentator’s Perspective

This article examines the tension between journalistic and entertainment values in live soccer TV commentary from the perspective of German commentators. We situate journalistic and entertainment values within the commentators’ wider understanding of their roles as sports journalists and commentators, looking at a specific type of sports journalist who has different responsibilities from the general sports reporter. We asked how soccer commentators assess the role of journalistic and entertainment values in their work, and what constraints they face, such as how the perceived expectations of their employer affect this assessment. We interviewed 28 TV commentators, one radio commentator, and one expert working for relevant German TV channels and streaming platforms, such as ZDF, Sky, and DAZN. While all interviewees see themselves as companions telling the story of the match, most commentators in the sample value journalistic values over entertainment values, a surprising finding in the hyper-commercialized world of sports television. Well-founded journalistic expertise and soccer knowledge are considered most important. However, this assessment depends on factors such as the broadcaster’s guidelines and the nature of the match. In summary, the role of the commentator is either an ‘objective mediator’ or an ‘emotional entertainer’, but this is a balancing act.

“…Die Art der Kommentierung und der verbalisierten Attribute der Sportkommentatoren spielen hierbei eine essentielle Rolle. So kann der Kommentator neue Attributionsprozesse bei den Zuschauern initiieren oder von den Zuschauern bereits vorgenommene Zuschreibungen verstärkeninsbesondere dann, wenn er als Experte wahrgenommen wird (Beentjes et al 2002;Schaffrath 2003;vgl. auch Schramm 2007).…”

Übersicht: Im Vergleich zu anderen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen erweist sich der (Hoch-)Leistungssport immer noch als besonders wirksamer Nähr-boden für Homophobie. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt zunächst die Entwicklung homophober Einstellungen im (Hoch-)Leistungssport als Ergebnis sozialer Wahrnehmungs-und Kategorisierungsprozesse dar. Anschließend werden Befunde einer eigenen Befragung von Studierenden (n = 440) zur Einschätzung unterschiedlicher sexueller Orientierungen im (Hoch-)Leistungssport präsentiert, in der sich erhebliche Tendenzen zu homophoben Wahrnehmungen zeigen. In einem weiteren Schritt wird die Rolle der Sportberichterstattung als Vermittlerin stereotypgeleiteter Werte diskutiert, bevor abschließend Implikationen für eine differenzierte, vorurteilsärmere Berichterstattung formuliert werden. Schlüsselwörter: Homophobie; Mediensport; sexuelle Orientierungen; soziale Wahrnehmungs-und Kategorisierungsprozesse; Sportberichterstattung Die positive öffentliche Resonanz auf homosexuelle Coming-outs mehrerer Politiker 1 oder auch die rechtliche Anerkennung gleichgeschlechtlicher Lebenspartnerschaften mittels des Lebenspartnerschaftgesetzes von 2001 (vgl. Simon 2008) sind Indikatoren für eine zunehmende Akzeptanz von Lesben und Schwulen in Deutschland. Dieser Wandel des gesellschaftlichen Klimas wird auch durch verschiedene sozialwissenschaftliche Befunde untermauert. So stellen Steffens und Wagner (2004) eine zunehmende Liberalisierung in der Bewertung der Homosexualität fest, Zinn (2004: 207) konstatiert mit Verweis auf die Bielefelder Langzeitstudie "Deutsche Zustände", dass "antihomosexuelle Einstellungen nur noch von etwa einem Drittel der

“…Live commentary plays an important role in sports matches and video games; it makes spectators more excited, more immersed, and better informed about the matches or games (e.g., Schaffrath (2003)), as in the example of racing game commentary "We are approaching the final long straight. I wonder who is going to win!".…”

We propose the task of automatically generating commentaries for races in a motor racing game, from vision, structured numerical, and textual data. Commentaries provide information to support spectators in understanding events in races. Commentary generation models need to interpret the race situation and generate the correct content at the right moment. We divide the task into two subtasks: utterance timing identification and utterance generation. Because existing datasets do not have such alignments of data in multiple modalities, this setting has not been explored in depth. In this study, we introduce a new large-scale dataset that contains aligned video data, structured numerical data, and transcribed commentaries that consist of 129,226 utterances in 1,389 races in a game. Our analysis reveals that the characteristics of commentaries change depending on time and viewpoints. Our experiments on the subtasks show that it is still challenging for a state-of-the-art vision encoder to capture useful information from videos to generate accurate commentaries. We make the dataset and baseline implementation publicly available for further research.
