1b / 2b / 3 negative!

Skipping these Olympics mainly because the only interesting thing there would have been the football and it’s filled with second grade players due to the clubs not allowing their players to participate. Blah!

We watch very very rarely TV at all. When the TV is on for 5 minutes in a month, it’s already a long time :stuck_out_tongue:
(but we compensate this by sitting behind the pc monitor :smiley: )

1.c None
2.a Never
3. no.

sports may have been important society when cavemen were chasing down wild
game, or starving…

today is an entertainment and money making endeavor which is, imo, a huge waste
of time and resources for the vast majority of the worlds folks, whose food
gathering techniques take little skill, stamina or teamwork…

I like sports make the body feel younger:rolleyes:
At the younger age my dad thought me boxing
At the age of 10 my brother thought me karate
Me and my brothers spar a lot and used to have at least 4 rounds in boxing
3-days a week. In high school I played basketball
Kudos to the none sports guys:D

  2. I’ll watch it whenever I get the chance.
  3. Mike Phelps. Looking to see how good he can do this year.

Mike Phelps. Looking to see how good he can do this year.

I wonder if he’s going to be able to outshine Mark Spitz and break his 7 medals.

Appropriate,… Fencing is my sport so naturally I’m interested in how we’re doing in it.

Otherwise I like the artistic ones (figure skating, etc.).

Too bad I don’t have cable TV or even rabbit ears. :eek:

Nope.

i like to watch the winter ones, there is more chance someone can get really badly hurt or killed. i have zero interest in the uber-commercial ones in china atm and have even less interest in the one to be held in london. the uk can not afford to host the games and should drop its bid and concentrate on looking after the desperately poor who are being hit by massive fuel, energy and food cost increases.

  2. Some, but I bought a big screen lcd last night for football season, so I will probably watch more now…:wink:
