The football is the only Olympic event I've watched. I believe today they had "Half Court" Basketball on. WTF. Next up, Conkers & or Twister.
To be fair there are probably some basketball forums where they can't believe there is a football tournament made up of under 23 players, with a couple of older guys. 

In a modern world where so many highly paid sportsmen/women, can often be found out behaving like petulant arseholes, to me the Olympics is a fantastic 4 year antidote. So many athletes just doing their sport for the sheer love of it, and making huge sacrifices with often little financial gain, chasing their Olympic dream. I still remember canoeist Paul McDonald coming to my small town high school in the late 1980s, and how pumped we were after as kids to get out there doing any kid of sport.

In an age of rising obesity this 4 yearly gig, is great in just showing kids there's all sorts of sports out there they can give a go. Why you would only watch the football, when there is already a suffocating amount of it. I just don't get.

Though it's great to finally see a senior NZ mens team in action, you could question what football is even doing at the Olympics. For me I'd definitely scrap golf and tennis who already have their grand slams.
