Do the Olympics interfere with your typical sport watching routine?

I haven't watched a single game of my home team since the Olympics started.

Go Red Sox!

  • Sort of. They moved NASCAR from NBC Sports to USA.

    Hello Some1UMayNo

    No, but I don't watch a lot of sports to begin with...

    If the Giants or the Niners are doing good, I'll jump on the bandwagon.

    I like to go to Giants games just because AT&T park is such a great place...

    For me, the Olympics just don't hold the prestige they used to...I have been to friends homes while the Olympics were on. I caught such events like Golfing, Kayaking, Synchronized diving and beach Volleyball....Now as much as enjoyed the volleyball, it just doesn't seem to be in the tradition of Olympic events.

    I have always held the belief, whether it has any historic accuracy or not, that the Olympics were tests of servants. Who's servant can best deliver a message by running and perhaps swimming the fastest and furthest, who had the strongest servant, who's servants had the best fighting skills and so on. I do not see where many modern day events fit into this idea...

    If it was a choice between watching a Niners/Seahawks game and Olympic Lawn Bowling, well,...do I need to say it...

    I got rid of cable. Just watch movies. All news comes from Twitter and Instagram and subscriptions to magazines. Sometimes Twitter main streams sports news.

    I do love sports, so I go to real games.
