Lawson, when she is on task, is very good as an in-studio host or at the game as a color commentator.  But when she (or any other broadcaster) wanders away from the game in front of them, it drives some viewers absolutely bats.

While TV carries much of the program content via the video, there is still a need for someone to supply the details that even an attentive and well-practiced viewer cannot easily discern.

Funny though, I was watching a live-stream of a college softball game last week where there were no broadcasters at all, just the natural crowd and game sounds and the (very good) PA announcer in the background.  It was GREAT.  The NFL did a one-game experiment with this approach several years ago.  Maybe it would be a good idea to try it again.  In the near future, we are going to have more sports events produced for streaming.  The entire production "team" will consist of one or two people, sans announcers. The technology exists at present.
