what is the point of sign language interpreters anyway? This is 2020, not 1970. All TVs have close captioning now.

Good question. Seems like they are all using them right now.
Because of the trend to go back to ASL for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, many of the younger Deaf are not very fluent in English And their reading levels are not what they should be.
Plus, the closed captioning on the fly often is not ery a curate. I’ve seen a lot that just flat out makes no sense.
Hey, at least they aren’t interpreting into Spanish.
