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.

that is how i feel about it. i have never watched the olympics. the only sport i love to watch is professional football.

I'm happy to see I am not the only one. I am not a sports fan either. But I do wish all of them the best. They have worked hard to get where they are.

I've never been into the Olympics. Maybe a small dose of the skating, but that's it.

It doesn't mean I'm not patriotic or proud of our athletes. It means I don't care much for sports nor do I buy the idea you have to support American sports to be a good American.

*raises hand*

I don't care about the area, the people, the personal stories of the athletes and/or their families. I don't care about most of the events.

I did get to see Pleshenko (?) skate yesterday. That was worth my time.

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.

croemer, 100% agreed after what I've seen. Love the ice skating and IMO, you are so right after watching some of it in the last few days.

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

I haven't watched so far. I did run across the running of the torch and the lighting and fireworks, which I thought were spectacular. I am proud of all of the athletes, but haven't had much interest in watching throughout the years.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
