It’s really not hard to understand. I don’t know if you’re a sporty person but sports need atmosphere pal I get it if you're there in person it's fun to be part of a crowd but on TV it makes no difference to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 The atmosphere from a passionate crowd is great and definitely carries over on TV, but it's pretty peripheral to my enjoyment watching at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I've been watching livestream concerts throughout the pandemic with no crowds. In person it's great fun to be a part of an energetic audience but meh, I don't care if I'm at home, whether it be concerts or sports (though admittedly I'm not a big sports person anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 the lack of atmosphere due to having no crowds is a factor in sports like football or ice hockey, but i don't think it has made a huge difference at the Olympics so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasa Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 a good crowd can intensify watching the sport on tv for the better, college softball probably being the best example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott. Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Some of the Olympic sports are ridiculous though. There should be no Football, Golf or Tennis. Keep the rugby 7s they are great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 @Elisa an Italian 100m winner? Fucking madness. Didn’t you guys smash the world record in the cycling too. I watched the gymnastics floor this morning that the Italian girl came second, she’s 30 years old and never won an Olympic medal in 4 attempts, was a nice moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patient #48273 Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Just now, Nasa said: Canada? In my experience, yes, but I don't know if that's the case across the country. I've also heard Americans say the same thing, so it might come down to the particular city or state/province. It also could be a bit of an age group thing. With most women's sports, it seems like the concentration of lesbians tends to go up after college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 There aren't many open lesbians around here, so I don't associate it with that necessarily, but softball definitely attracts a certain type of woman. When I was in high school there were girls on the team who "chewed" tobacco by putting it between their toes lol. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was a great day for us with those two gold medals within 10 minutes of each other in athletics. I'm also proud of Vanessa Ferrari and her silver medal at 30 years old this morning. And last week we had our swimmer Federica Pellegrini (class 1988) with her 5th and last Olympic final in 200m freestyle since Athens 2004. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
