Its culture. Its what we are used to.
We are Carlton supporters. Give us ball sports and we are happy. The best we will get entertained by at the Winter Games, is Ice Hockey. The rest of it, is not for us.
Im sure Melbourne Fans would be amused by it all and are relishing it.
Getting serious, people who enjoy these sorts of activities will really like the winter games. Like the Summer games, most of us are hardly amused unless we have a particular sport of interest. Thats fair enough. The actual vision we get showed is hard to watch. I like to watch events, these days its spot the aussie (understandable), so you have no idea how well or poorly they are going unless the judges tell you so or they focus on that event for a little while. Proper sports fans, dislike that approach to Olympic broadcasts as far as Im concerned as its glorified advertising and insulting to our intelligence. I have not appreciated the Olympics as a spectacle since the early 90's, and that was due to the format they used to use to display the games. They showed us events. Sure, you get snippets here and there now, but its annoying and hard for a sports fan to watch. Other people will have a different opinion, and thats fair enough too.
