sports pundit
Athletics opinion expert
A sports pundit is a commentator who offers analysis, opinions, and predictions about athletic competitions.
Pundits appear on television broadcasts, radio shows, and podcasts, breaking down games and debating controversial calls.
The term often carries a slightly dismissive edge—suggesting someone paid to have opinions rather than proven expertise: The sports pundits all predicted they'd lose.
