The former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand was on BT Sport on Saturday night for the Champions League final .. There was a moment when the camera was just on him and people found in cringe of the highest order ..

This is a perfect example of how bad coverage is of football in this country. I just do not understand the decision to put Rio Ferdinand front and centre in the majority of content. Horrendous. pic.twitter.com/FPy3203WmZ

And not a single mention of what the goal actually means, winning the greatest club prize on offer. Much like the internet’s fanboys, it’s only individual accolades that matter to young Rio
This is what happens when you spend time with YouTubers.
I remember the time he was decent when he was a new pundit but now his punditry is presented as a YouTube vlogger trying to shout the loudest. Absolutely ignore him whenever he appears
Rio the United player and Rio the pundit/YouTuber are in stark contrast of each other with the latter pandering to the toxic Twitter/YouTube culture
Have started to feel very old and in the way on FT almost within the blink of an eye. I don’t understand why this style of commentary is in the mainstream nor know who any of the people playing in that charity match were yesterday. 🙁 There’s been a clear shift in the “product”.
