I think the commentary does play a big part in enjoyment of these broadcasts. It also gives you the subconscious feeling of watching with a familiar friend every time. One example is F1, where we watch the races with the "international" commentary (with David Croft) as opposed to the F1 official commentary. Nothing really wrong with F1's, but the familiarity of Crofty's voice adds to the enjoyment. I bet Apple could add celebrity commentators to MLS if this continues to grow.
