2012 Olympic Sailing - Very Funny

[LiberalArkie]

An Irish TV commentator bringing us very colorful comments on this "Laser Radial" (boat) race ...
PS : You MUST listen attentively to the subtlies of the english language.

1. Brilliantly amusing video

All through the video, the commentator makes hysterically funny observations about the boats, the sailors, their countries and the spectators using very colorful language. Wouldn't it be marvelous if American sportscasters were as salty?! With his snarky attitude and remarks, his ignorance was screaming out: he had no idea that he was watching the pre-race maneuvering in order to get into position for the start of the race. (For non-sailors, the boats try to get as close as possible to the starting line without crossing it before the horn.)

Thanks, LiberalArkie! This put a huge smile on my face this morning!

4. You'd think they'd get someone who actually knew the first thing about sailboat racing.

I love the ending, where he says there's no more time to show the actual race.
