For those who don’t know, my other hobby is sailing. It’s a much misunderstood sport and thus it doesn’t make very good television. Well, there’s lots of reasons it doesn’t make good television, but it doesn’t help that people don’t much understand it.

Enter Francis Higgins, who decided to do some spoof commentary of the s Olympic coverage of sailing (yes, there is sailing in the Olympics). It’s rare you’ll see me link to NSFW (the commentary has some crude language) video, but it’s too funny not to post:

My gut as a sailor is that Mr. Higgins knows more about sailing than he leads on and part of the humor is making fun of Olympic commentators who are pressed into service covering sports they know little about.
