I don't mind this being done, but only if an English-only commentary
is available - which is exceedingly unlikely. Assuming there is no >>English-only option I intend to complain to Sky at every opportunity.
I suspect that they will do a TVNZ and replace English words and
phrases with Maori ones. They have become another woke broadcaster.
You'll have to like it or lump it unless we can get a VPN feed from
and English speaking feed.
The article says, "Sky Sport will infuse te reo into its coverage of the Winter Olympics." So yes it will be a case of the presenter(s) not knowing which language they are speaking.
In the real world people do not mix languages in a sentence, you are
speaking a language which the listener understands.
The rest of that link is an insight into Sky's state of mind.
