For me, I love having something to stick on in the background, to occasionally watch. The kids love the idea of the best of the best smashing it out too.

I’ve never given a fuck about sport tbh and never understood why people get so worked up and passionate about team sports in particular. Admittedly many sports folk are physically attractive but that’s where my interest ends 😆.
Maybe you have to be more inclined to be tribal in nature for team sports in particular.

For me it’s something that I love watching and have taken an interest in. I listen to sports related stuff and it gives me something to do and enjoy.
I support a team and feel passionate about it to the degree that I hate seeing my team pounded and lose that I turn off the tv or switch channels.
I’m not sporty by any means but in a unique sort of thing it allows me to connect with people at work and have chats to people about it if they follow the same sport that wouldn’t otherwise allow me to because my other interests are something that are hard to talk about to others (gaming).

Have you ever been in an office and you’ve scrunched up a piece of paper, aimed at the bin, got it in and others in the room gave a little cheer “shot wscholermann!”?
Well times that by 100. These athletes are the best of the best, on the world stage competing for a medal. Why wouldn’t you want to cheer these guys on?

I can honestly say that’s never happened to me.
To be clear I don’t wish people ill will, I’m just very meh about it.

I don’t have any interest in everyday sports. I don’t watch it and don’t play it. (And I don’t gamble, which I think is a big attractor for some people being very into sports). But I enjoy the olympics to see some of the exotic sports like gymnastics and javelin and diving. I don’t really care who wins. And the olympics has a different atmosphere, it seems more pure or something? (I know it’s full of cheats, I mean it’s not for profit)

The Olympics are the one time countries from all over the world come together in the name of friendship. Sure it’s an ideal, the world can be an awful place, but we need ideals to aspire to.
I love it so much.
