I agree with you completely. No one watches sports because it’s important. I love the Olympics, although I barely got to watch it this year.

I’d rather watch the olympic’s where I can pick n choose the sport I want to watch. To eaches own. I’m not a sports fan but this year I did watch, Although it is true that NBC pretty much botched a lot of it. Next year golf? really? IMO it’s a really good way to get out of hearing SO much about politic bashing… I get enough of that at commercials and on the news.

For me, because it’s something held far abroad and rarely involves my country, except in badminton(which is also my favorite sport), plus there’s just that many uninteresting sports(well, to me), I’m too lazy to follow it at all.

And I watch the evening news to get a heads up on everything that happend during the day.

I just like to watch it on television, because now we see sports that don’t get that much coverage in the normal sport shows.

The results are not that important for me, I just want to see the games.

It’s cost me a fortune in missed working hours!

I’m not avoiding them, it’s just working out that way!

Online i use london2012.com to check the scores.

Imagine what could be acheived if the cost of the olympics was ploughed into renewable energy or securing water sources for other nations.

In one of the above comments, Mark says he uses Tunnelbear to watch BBC streaming outside the UK.
