What is the attraction to these video titles? Sky Sports seem to like using them, whereby a relatively tame debate would take place about something and nobody really gets destroyed.
Talk Sport is another level, basically belligerent hosts dismissing one another or their callers at every opportunity (Simon Jordan, Stan Collymore, etc.)
Off The Ball seems pleasant enough in comparison.

It comes from American sports talk radio.
It's all about ratings.
You can't have two hosts agreeing all the time.
Someone needs to have a "hot take".
And it's open season on the callers.
It's not like Live Line where Joe Duffy agrees with every gripe and whinge that callers call in with.

It gets clicks. Nothing more to it than that.

The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
