Is anyone else out there NOT interested in watching the Olympics???

I may get bashed, but I'm not that interested in sports and it seems like every time I flip the channel, there is either a clip, discussion, or a program of the Olympics that has replaced what I wanted to see. Don't get me wrong, I'm very proud of our USA teams--I can't even imagine how much hard work the athletes put in for their whole lives to get to this point and I hope they win! ${#emotions_dlg.thumbup}$ But that doesn't mean I have to like watching it for two weeks. ${#emotions_dlg.unsure}$ If I say anything, I feel like people think I'm horrible because I don't want to watch it!

For the first time...I am not watching at all. I always loved Ice Skating until it became very obvious the judges and scores were rigged. I no longer have any interest.

Don't feel bad about not wanting to watch. That's the way I feel about a lot of sports .... Superbowl for example. Sports are not for everyone. I enjoy some of it, but not all.

No one should bash anyone for not watching the Olympics. For me, it's not interesting at all, and I haven't and I am not planning on watching it at all.

It's not a political thing, I am just not interested in this sort of thing. Besides, I think it's the biggest waste of money going. Think about what could be done with the money spent on something that lasts two weeks....for the hosting country's people.

I'm trying my best not to, but the TV program schedulers are trying to hold me hostage! ${#emotions_dlg.scared}$

Ditto this. I know a gal whose husband provides some equipment for the various sports. It's rigged and very political. I like to watch some of the events as the athletes perform what they know and what they can. Whenever something is large like the Olympics - it's a sure thing they are rigged. Too much money at stake.
