I have not watched a single second of this years olympic competition.

Not even highlights. Not an active choice, I just don't really care.

my friend is boycotting over the seal hunt. - Andie Feb 18, 11:02 1
- A friend from Canada? -- nm - Guigue Feb 18, 11:06
I just don't understand that. The Olympics represent everything that is right about sports. - David Feb 18, 10:51 16
- I understand it for the Winter Games -- nm - Roger More Feb 18, 10:58 4
  - Oh come on, it's just like the summer games only everything's 47% more awesome because it's all done on freaking ice! -- nm - Ender Feb 18, 10:59
  - Don't make me surgically removed your bad opinion from you. -- nm - David Feb 18, 10:59 2
    - Oh, it's not a diss on the Winter Games. But before I came to Canada I hardly watched any of it, it just wasn't relevant. -- nm - Roger More Feb 18, 11:06 1
      - And now I think of it, the coverage was very poor -- nm - Roger More Feb 18, 11:07
- The olypians usually do. The Olympics are about making money. - musubi Feb 18, 10:52 10
  - heh, this is the guy who likes to say i'm a cynic....nm - x Feb 18, 11:00
  - Don't you go to baseball games? -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 10:58
  - so you watch pick up games of basketball to "keep it real" -- nm - CQ Feb 18, 10:54
  - Or, in this case, losing $200 million of it. -- nm - David Feb 18, 10:53
  - there are altruistic sports leagues, just formed to celebrate awesomeness as a non-profit? -- nm - TFox Feb 18, 10:53 3
    - Don't get me wrong, that's not why I haven't watched. I have no problem with The Olympics being about money. - musubi Feb 18, 10:56
    - (and if there was, wouldn't the Olympics probably be closest to it?) -- nm - TFox Feb 18, 10:54
    - We call that the Arena Football League - Will Hunting Feb 18, 10:54

    - True. I've read a lot of recaps and read some profiles. I'm just don't feel compelled to watch. I probably will at some point. - musubi Feb 18, 10:55
me either, except i'm actually sad about it -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 18, 10:51
What's it like to have no soul? -- nm - Subversive Feb 18, 10:51 2
- Thrilling, apparently. -- nm - mara Feb 18, 10:52 1
  - Hee! -- nm - Subversive Feb 18, 10:53
