I agree. Still bloody boring though which I'll think you'll find was my original point.

No, your original point was to try to goad people into posting because you have nothing better to do than troll people. You're loving the Olympics, that's why you keep creating articles about it and owning up to watching the games.

But some sports are simply not worthy of being on TV. Sailing is another. Great pastime for the people in the boat, but I can see plenty of boats out of my window right now and they're still bloody boring - Olympics or not.

This is usually the view of ignorant people on sports they know nothing about and thus dismiss them as boring, its the same with: Snooker, Tennis, F1 and Golf all year round.
People who have no idea about the sport, how it works, its rules and its history blindly just call it boring.
Im not claiming to know much about sailing, but there is obviously a hell of a lot of detail involved and the races can be very fast paced and exciting, how can that be one of the most boring sports?

I don't slag it off on the internet and question its right to be broadcast or competed or patronise people who participate or enjoy it. There's obviously an awful lot of subtlety to it that I don't appreciate, and that's fine, you can't know everything about every sport.

Good to see you've judged an entire sport on a 10 min viewing.

Some sports are ace to take part in but don't work on telly. It's hardly a controversial opinion.

I'm not taking anything seriously until you remove that avatar of Coyle doing a trump.
