FOOTBALL PUNDITS
Football pundits only use
The present tense and I suppose
they never ever went to school
- they use the past tense not at all.
You cannot say they’re erudite
in fact they’re really not that bright
describing games played yesterday
as if the games were still in play.

Yes - every Monday morning before she puts the washing on.

To keep their head in the middle of the game saves them coming out to view the world as it is - must fill them with terror....!
The story behind your cartoon is interesting - any chance of more detail? Another piece, a picture?
Very true Michael, great cartoon.

The poem is a commentary on the media industry and the way in which commentators and pundits use language to describe sporting events. It is also a reflection on the importance of education and the need for individuals to have a solid understanding of grammar and language.....Good write Sir❤️
