Why is it BAD that the Warrior's announcers are "Homers"?

It doesn't make sense to me. The people watching the GS feed are Warrior's fans. Why would we want a neutral broadcast? I understand this bothers fans of other teams watching the GS feed but why should WE care? It's OUR feed. You can watch the other team's feed if you hate the Warriors so much.

As an aside, I grew up as a Knicks fan and those games were called by Marv Albert or Bob Costas and they were huge Michael Jordan homers. It was unbearable. I want a feed for the Knick's fan. Not for our nemisis.

Because you only play half your games at home that’s half the season you play with other teams broadcasters. Imagine if half the games you watched you had to listen to how great the home team is even when they are down by 20. Imagine listening to a rockets broadcast when Steph Curry drops 50 but Dillon Brooks scores 35 and that’s all they talk about.

Being biased is fine but you need to have some semblance of balance to it where you credit the opposition and talk about them aswell. This isn’t politics where your side good their side bad.
