Does anyone care LESS about the Olympics than me?

[ashling]

I was going to tell you how much I don't care about the Olympics, but I find that .... well,

I just don't care to.

:shrug:

[av8rdave]

1. Me, me!

[old mark]

2. Me, too - I'm still too sad that football is over till next August pre-season.

:cry:

14. Yes, but REAL futbol--the World Cup kind--starts in June!!!

Woo hoo!!!

[tango-tee]

3. Me. Definitely me.

DH set the alarm clock last night to be able to see the opening ceremony on TV live over here in Europe. This will go on for the next - what is it? - two weeks.... Groan.

[NoPasaran]

4. Olympics? In the middle of winter?

Never heard of such a thing!

[Wapsie B]

5. Aside from maybe the curling and pygmy kick-boxing I could care less.

[HopeHoops]

6. I'm certainly a contender. I rank it one tiny notch above the Super Bowl.

I won't be shocked if they add Team Farting and Projectile Vomiting to the games.

[Pool Hall Ace]

7. I cared just enough to respond

but no more. :hi:

I don't care about the Olympics, either. :boring:

[rurallib]

8. nope - you win.

[Kali]

9. well, I would rather watch Olympics than football

but that still isn't saying much

[JCMach1]

10. Don't even know if it is on satellite here...

I block out the sports channels...

[applegrove]

11. I used to get so excited re: olympics and canadian patriotism. Now I get excited for a second

and then it dissipates. Cause of the meds I'm on I'm sure. What a pain. I'll try and watch figure skating though.

[texanwitch]

12. I like the summer olympics better.

It is hard to relate to the winter olympics coming from Texas.

[charlie and algernon]

18. I think I have to agree with you

I especially loved the team events-volleyball, water polo, soccer, Basketball. I was riveted by rowing, swimming, track and field, and diving. Staying up late during the games are great because that's when they got into the rowing, other team events, instead of just gymnastics and track and field during the prime time slots.

I love international sporting events on a whole, but yeah, the winter olympic events don't hold my attention as much as the summer olympics, the World Cup or even the World Baseball Classic.

[texanwitch]

20. The Winter Olympics have advents many of us woud never do or relate to.

I still will watch the Winter Olympics a little but not the same as the Summer Olympics.

Just a few countries do really well, the small cold ones.

With the Summer Olympics every country has a chance.

[Blue-Jay]

13. You should start a thread about it.

[ashling]

26. The best thing about the spring and the fall:

you guessed it, NO OLYMPICS!

[UTUSN]

15. Offhand, I would say: ME. However, it hasn't been quantified precisely. n/t

[rcrush]

16. I just want to see the skiers do their events stoned

Like Bodie Miller.

[MadBadger]

17. I wouldnt give most of these sports the time of day...except during the Olympics

Im captivated by Women's Moguls right now.

[kentauros]

19. I would likely watch them IF:

There were no commentators (and no comments!)
There were no commercials.
There were no sob stories and endless biographies.
There was no USA-centric emphasis.
And, all of the games were presented to us in the same way the spectators get to view them, i.e., live, with the only announcing going on for who's up next and what their score was.


Is that so much to ask? :P

[charlie and algernon]

21. You have to watch the coverage on CNBC or MSNBC

I hope they expand their coverage to those channels like they did during the Summer games. In the summer, they put all the team and less popular events on those channels and covered them like ESPN would, no sob stories, etc.

[kentauros]

22. Okay, thanks!

I'll have to see if they've got a schedule :)

[pokerfan]

35. Schedule

There is Olympic programming on NBC, USA, MSNBC, CNBC and Universal Sports.

[kentauros]

38. Thank you again!

Looking at it now :hi:

[tigereye]

32. yes, maybe online there would be no blathering and bathos -

the US-centric aspect is so odd, acting like anything that any other culture does is bizarre and making infantilizing comments about that culture. The commentators are often so vapid. It's tedious.

[graywarrior]

23. I don't care so much I almost was not gonna respond to this

[ashling]

27. They should at least have Olympic Duct Taping

You'd be a contender for sure!

[valerief]

24. I don't care. Are the Olympics on? I haven't turned on the teevee in a couple days. nt

[Crazy Dave]

25. Haven't even turned the channel on

Ever since watching that sickening Bodie or Bode whatever his name was in '06 I tuned out and never got back into it.

[TreasonousBastard]

28. The Olympics? Is that a band?

[abq e streeter]

30. Yes

29. Around here, Olympics is

either a Greek restaurant or coney island.

Love them Olympics!

:hi:

[Unvanguard]

31. I care so little that I don't start threads about not caring about it.

:)

[mvd]

33. I watch them

But casually. Not interested in seeing every event. :hi:

[jobycom]

34. A hell of a lot of people who cared so little they didn't bother braggng about how little they cared

[ashling]

36. No brag ...

I simply asked a question.

How 'bout dem Saints?

[jobycom]

37. WHODAT!

:)

[Zomby Woof]

39. I care about them a great deal

They're a beautiful mountain range, and home to the only temperate rain forest in the U.S. They're home to an amazing ecosystem too.
