Re: 2008 Olympics

They broke into all normal programming here (including radio) to cover the opening cermonies.

Too bad no one really cared, but there were a few people watching the coverage at the department stores.

Re: 2008 Olympics

I think I watched a bit of the Olympics one year in the 80s sometime. It was okay for what it was. I don't think I've actively watched the Olympics since.

Re: 2008 Olympics

I like watching a lot of the events... The mat routines, the balance beam, the parallel bars. I caught the speedwalking event last time which was pretty entertaining. Not sure if I'll be able to catch any this year unless it's online.

I will continue the tradition of not watching it and instead will pet my dog for 9 hours a day, every day for 5 days.

Re: 2008 Olympics

Does anyone outside of the athletes, athletes' families, sports media and large corporations really care about the Olympics anymore?
