they know their game. They're really objective
when it comes to stats, and what's right and what's
wrong.
But when a sportsman is having a health problem,
it can be shown that sports fans and commentators
are not doctors. They'll make fun of a guy who
is going through a stroke.
What is needed, in darts, is bruisers, to watch
over the play by play and the fans to make
sure the honour of players is not besmirched,
as they do in hockey
