A Whole New World of Huggles

[barnum42]

You were right before, America kinda sucks when it comes to broadcasting the Olympics. They're pretty much the only sports event I ever watch and I'm never provided with enough.

I guess American Sports TV only broadcasts stuff American Teams will become "World Champions" in, such as American Football and Baseball, where the teams are all American (OK, and one Canadian team). Reason being, the sponsors don't want to back a show that could depict Americans as losers

Yeah, and those all seem to be the sports I don't watch :lol:

I'm more into the individual sports like swimming, track and field, marathons, diving, curling. All those Olympic sports.

You may well be right, Barnum. I also think that the incredibly short American attention span has a lot to do with it, too, though - getting people to tune in for events that go on for quite some time before a winner is declared is hard.

Curling? Really? Or are you saying that to try and get in my good books, seeing as that's the only gold medal Great Britain won last time? :lol:

This would be why International Test Cricket has not caught on - five days a little too long for one game do you think? :lol:
