Is sports being over-analysed and killing the joy factor?

As a regular sports lover and spectator I love to just watch and enjoy the energy and excitement of sports. On this cricket world cup live telecast, I find that there is so much analysis that it kills the sheer joy of watching a sport. Every ball and shot is analysed and every player is investigated even during the live telecasts.
Do you also feel that way?

Exactly the reason why I do not watch sports on television any longer. The sportscasters are deafening. I couldn't enjoy the games any more.

@eileenleyva some of them are good and are descriptive while adding excitement to the game.

@pitstop Absolutely. The hogwash of saying something just to make viewers believe in their preferences.
Gosh, their jobs are really inconsequential to the sports, nor to viewing and enjoyment of the sports. Hope they disappear.

@pitstop yes....anything that makes an over use of mind spoils the fun element associated with it.

I don't watch a lot of sport but I happened to catch a few minutes of Wimbledon just now. It was all 'analysis' (interspersed with a few clips of the players the lady was analysing). Sometimes they go for the most outrageous similes! This earnest commentator (a young lady talking about a ladies' singles match) was saying that tennis was like "the rutting season" 
I think that I was doing such a hard "Yer wha'!!!" that I missed her point (if there was one)!
