Most of the time yes, I don't need to hear what some commentator is rambling on about, I want to watch people play football not hear a bunch of mundane stats or listen to some garbled singing from the crowd.
I watch football almost exclusively on my laptop or phone as we don't have Sky and there's quite often something else going on at the same time, my partner might be watching something on Netflix while I'm watching the game so may as well mute the sound I don't care about and let her listen to her programme, same if we're in the car on the way back from somewhere I get no benefit from listening to comms so stick the radio on in the car and watch the game on mute. Only time I usually bother with the sound is if it's a game I've got on in the background whilst I'm doing something else like gardening, I'll stick my phone on the side somewhere and then if it sounds like something good is happening I can have a look, like radio coverage but with the bonus of highlights.
