Why does it matter if a teams announcers are biased? Isn't their job to market the team? (alien.top)

People always talking about the Warriors announcers but I am watching this Mavs vs Lakers game and anytime Bron made a shot they freaked out and called him the king. I do not care even though I preferred the Mavs to win. If you hate one teams announcers can't you switch to the other teams stream?

Idk that was my situation. What is the reason it matters? None of these guys are really annoying me. They alls ound pretty biased towards the team they are working for which makes sense.

Because commentators are also expected to have an analysis of the play by play. Being biased would ruin analysis. i.e. quick to call on fouls that favors your team, quick to judge the mistake of the other team etc.. it is to be expected that the team commentators would be biased (no one can remove biases) but it is their job to also look at the pov of the other team. This would provide a better commentary on why the team succeeded or failed in a specific play or the game itself. It would create a better experience on what you should watch out for your team to do better or watch how your team counteract the play of the opponent.
