The last time I watched the olympics was in either '94 or '96, whichever one was the summer one. At the time I was in Europe that summer and didn’t view the american broadcast of it, so I really don’t have a comment on it other than it’s always overly commercialized throughout every moment. I think the only event I might watch is the volleyball games if they decide to show that when I can watch it. [btw, volleyball is nationally televised on some sports channels, and people pay to go watch professional beach volleyball when it’s in their area.]
