How Do You Brits Put Up With Sky Sports’ David Croft?


The only sport I follow is Formula 1. For the past 2 years, our F1 coverage in the US is provided by England’s Sky Sports, anchored by David “Crofty” Croft, one of the most supercilious, self-impressed, loud-mouthed, dimwitted and humorless slugs it has ever been my displeasure to encounter. His knowledge of F1 would not fill his own microscopic jockstrap. His alleged sense of humor makes Adam Sandler look like Groucho Marx by comparison. His “debating” skills would lose out to Siri in a clash. He SHOUTS at the slightest hint of action on the track, forgetting that play-by-play commentary is irrelevant ON TV. It has come to the point that I simply mute my system when the action begins and, sad to say, am happier than I would be were I listening to this bombastic jackass pitifully try to describe to me what I can see with my own eyes and understand with my decades of accumulated F1 knowledge far better than he. Is, I hope, there a Burn Crofty At The Stake movement in England?

Lara Croft is a Tomb Raider, David isn't.

Does Murray Walker still do the commentary? Not seen much F1 since the days of Schumacher, Mansell and Senna.

No, it’s this assclown “Crofty.” From what I understand, Walker was a regular human being who had a real feel for and understanding of the sport, to which Britain (Lotus, BRM, Cooper, Shadow et al.) is as important as Italy and Germany. I am looking for tips about how to avoid slitting my throat because assclown Crofty is so vomitous. Alcohol? Barbiturates? Injections? A brick through the telly? An assassin hired to splatter his alleged brains the moment he starts shouting “And he’s GOING . . . .”?

reply

Alcohol and then a brick through the telly, Never fails 😉

Good advice, that. Thank you. I was looking to you Brits for good coping advice. He is the complete Asshat, isn’t he? Today he complained that LeClererc’s broken front wing was leaving broken carbon fiber shards all over the track until his co-anchor reminded him that Ferrari had pitted LeClerc and replaced the entire damaged nose several laps ago. He gets drivers wrong. He gets teams wrong. He probably does not know what year it is or who is fucking his wife.

He seems like an amateur bellend, Try the C4 coverage. It's got David Coulthard and Eddie Jordan as presenters and they usually stroll around the pit talking bollocks. They're not so bad. I don't know who does the commentary for them though as I've not watched a race for a long, long time. Get Croft out of your life Kane, he's toxic. Save yourself and the telly 🤞

Like everything else the standard of sports commentary has fallen off a cliff.
