Dave Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 ... are there others here who just don't feel any desire to watch the Summer Olympics, whether it's the Opening Ceremonies, Closing Ceremonies, or the games themselves? Right now I have the TV on the opening ceremonies, but I may change the channel in a few. Let's just say that watching the Olympics, at this time in my life, will just make me feel truly horrible (Don't ask!). Yet I almost feel like I should make myself watch them anyway simply because they're the Olympics -- much like even non-football fans watch the Superbowl simply because it's the Superbowl.

Colleen Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I haven't been watching, either. But I don't watch much TV anyway. The Olympics . . . I don't know, they're just not that interesting to me. At least the summer Olympics aren't. I love watching the Winter Olympics, though. Football, on the other hand . . . I can't miss that. [quote]Yet I almost feel like I should make myself watch them anyway simply because they're the Olympics -- much like even non-football fans watch the Superbowl simply because it's the Superbowl.[/quote] I wouldn't worry about that. Don't make yourself do something you don't want to do. I would pray or read or post on Phatmass, instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacobus Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I watch the Superbowl, like most people, for the ads. And teh party food, hehe. Thats why I watch any football games the party food. Hehe. I am not watching it. I don't watch any TV at all. I think I have seen some of it of late but not much. I am reading, working, or online. LOL!

VeraMaria Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I love the Summer Olympics!!! I'm watching the Opening Ceremony right now...it was AMAZING at the beginning, with the huge float of Greek History.... Even if it's not about the sports, it's so cool to see all the differnt countries in the parade of nations...like a lesson in culture (they all wear something typical, etc) It's really really cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin D Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Found the channel about 30 mins or more ago, so I got to see many of the countries march (except for the USA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah....right after the United Arab Emirates (who were booed very audibly ). USA has the largest number of people. I thought it was sad how the Arab athletes were treated.

Ash Wednesday Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Yo, Dave -- If it doesn't interest you, then don't feel like you should watch it. Do something more constructive with your time that's interesting to you. It's all good! I love the Olympics, but right now I'm not really interested. I *love* the winter Olympics, probably more than the summer. It would be interesting to me, but I'm more interested in working on my artwork instead.

M.SIGGA Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I'm a sports nut and I'm totally psyched! I love the Olympics! I've already started watching the US Men's basketball this week and the USA spanked Turkey already. That 19 year old guy from the USA hopefully is going to get the gold tommorrow in the Men's swimming event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
