Oh OK, I am not an Olympics watcher. Too many human interest BS stories to manipulate you emotionally
Of course there are. You're supposed to be emotional. That's kinda the whole point of watching sports. Beyond that, they want you to root for the same team they're rooting for - in this case the US 'cause we're watching a US feed.
Emoting is the entire point of watching. Human interest stories help with that. When you know more about the person, you're more emotionally invested. You don't give a shit when someone in your town gets shot and you don't know 'em. You'd be all sorts of emotional if it was your girlfriend that got shot.
Exactly why I don't watch. I don't need to be manipulated into caring about those or rooting for them
No, you don't need to... But you could be...
I tend to ignore most of the personal shit - but I do check out the cute chicks where possible!
