Announcer
A couple of guys watching the same events everybody else is, though they often have a general surface knowledge of many more players, stats, and happening around different leagues they announce for.
If an announcer or sports writer (or the ones who give them a script) were good at going in a game and scoring 30 something or 40 something points, they would be on the team doing that. They add to a lot of the superhero hype that nobody can really live up to, and next thing you know, more people seem to want this guy kicked off a team and moved to a different town, to run him out of town. Some of the people behind some of these decisions think they own the leagues and the towns they play in.

Announcer
Somebody who watches the same games as everybody else, but often has a broad surface knowledge of many different teams, athletes, stats, and happenings in a league they announce for.
If announcers or sports writers (or the people giving them a script or ghostwriting if it applies) were good at going into a game and scoring 30 something or 40 something points, they would be on a team doing it. A lot of the superhero hype that nobody can really live up to comes from what they're trying to do with the athletes. Next thing you know, some people seem to want these guys kicked off a team and moved to another town, to run them out of town. Some of the people involved in these decisions think they own a guy, a league, or a town that they play in.

announcer's curse
A state or condition in which an athlete fails to perform a skill that an announcer just praised him or her for. Also known as "announcer's jinx." Can an announcer jinx a player? Who knows? But phenomena like this suggest that consciousness may not in fact entirely reside in the skull cavity. When science develops more fully, we may one day have proof.
Let's say a basketball player is about to make a foul shot. The announcer reports, "She hasn't missed a free throw all night!" The player steps to the line and proceeds to miss the shot. Announcer: "This must have been a case of announcer's curse."

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
