Everyone lately wants to talk about how patriotic they are that they watch every single event during the Olympics. First of all, you don't watch every event and second of all it doesn't make you more patriotic than the next guy because you sit there and watch synchronized swimming. Give me break bro. Here are a list of Olympic events no one's watching even when there's nothing else on TV.
Archery: Are you really getting excited over guys shooting arrows at a target?
Canoe/Kayaking: I don't even know how you find out you're good at this, but you know as well as I do that you're changing the channel once you see it.
Cycling: Where's the excitement without Lance Armstrong? Unless there's someone racing who just beat ball cancer, you'd be surprised how much no one cares about it.
Equestrian: Unless you're one of the seven people in the world who have done it, it's not going on your TV when you have nothing to do.
Fencing: See response for equestrian.
Handball: Do they even show this on TV? If they do I probably wouldn't be watching it unless every other channel was blacked out.
Sailing: How do you keep score at sailing? This is news to me.
Shooting: You don't need a hint of athleticism to be good at this. Why would you bother watching it?
Synchronized Swimming: We'll file that one under "Who gives a shit".
Honorable Mention
Weight Lifting: If my girl Holley Mangold isn't in it, I don't give a shit. But if she is in it, it's like a Paul McCartney concert; everyone wants to see it.
