i feel i may be in the minority...but i can watch that shite all day. last winter olympics i watched curling for 5 hours only because the US was playing.

if the U.S.A. is in it i'll watch it....but i'm a better American than most people

Why is curling the one sport everyone chooses?

meh, I might watch the USA hockey team and the Jamaican Bobsled team.

Winter Olympics suck.

Love me some summer games though.

I always enjoy the Olympics. Not all that invested, but it's fun to watch

It is because CNBC showed every match and Shuster became a meme in the pre-viral overload days.

I love the Olympics, fwiw.

I like most of the events. Bobsled, downhill skiing, speed skating, and about the only time I'll watch hockey

The first hockey games I went to were in the last winter Olympics, those two games were among the best times I've had at a sporting event.

Yeah, I also never watch the NHL. But I'll tune in for the medal rounds of Olympic hockey.

The NHL would be foolish not to send the pros to South Korea in 2018 though, since ratings go up after every Olympics.

Hockey is probably my favorite Olympic sport so I always love when the Winter Olympics roll around.

Sitting in front of the TV watching 5 hours of curling doesn't make you a "better American" than anyone else. Just means you have nothing better to do and/or are far more bored.

Love the Winter Olympics all the way.

Did not even watch the summer Olympics, they are boring as hell.
