There isn't nearly as much hype as the Summer Olympics, or even the Vancouver Olympics. I guess it has to do with all the drama in Russia.

Perhaps Speed Skating is watchable, but other than that, I just have no fricks to give

No, it's not unpatriotic.


Me, I love the Winter Olympics. I like them better than the Summer Olympics. Speed skating, downhill skiing, curling, luge, bobsled, hockey. I hope there's a good stream on the nets so I can watch it all at work.

It's something to leave on while you're doing chores around the house, occasionally glancing at it

I've always enjoyed the Winter Olympics, though not as much as the Summer. Perhaps the lack of celebrity or super athlete in these games for the US has something to do the apathy. Other than LoLo Jones, I cannot name a single US athlete competing.

You don't watch because it's riveting exciting events featuring teams you care about.

You watch for the novelty. Hence, curling.

I find it fascinating, and some of the MILFs in female curling are fun to watch.

Then there's Madeleine Dupont.

I enjoy them, just like I enjoy Alabama volleyball, w soccer, baseball, and other sports that are incredibly boring. It's about the pride and having a rooting interest in them, for me.

I like the winter games a lot more than the summer. That being said, hockey is really the only event I care about.
