Why has the Olympics gotten so much less popular?

Date: February 16th, 2026 6:07 AM Author: Buy your next house instantly with Zellow! Remember the 1992 Olympics? It was a huge cultural event in America. 1994 was such a big deal that Tonya Harding was willing to have Nancy Kerrigan taken out so she could get in. But something changed. Today, America barely pays attention to it. I was in line recently at an AT&T store and figure skating was on the TV. It was the first time I've watched it this year, other than maybe thay Lindsay Vonn clip. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5835344&forum_id=2Reputation#49673509) |

Date: February 16th, 2026 6:31 AM Author: basketball american Not sure about the numbers but the Olympics this year have been really fun to watch. The only issue is the time zone and the instant access to results. Makes it hard to watch “primetime” when you are already know the outcome.

Date: February 16th, 2026 7:40 AM Author: richard clock too much access has watered the whole thing down. used to be a real must watch event, you could only watch it by following whatever NBC put on. prime time olympics programs were appointment viewing. Now you can stream whatever you want at any time so the whole thing seems less special. also, we don't really have a culture of everyone watching the same prime time tv events anymore. even as recently as the 90s, the world series would rival super bowl tv ratings. not anymore.

It’s two things, one is the “Bowling Alone” decline of neighborhood parties and get together that gave people an excuse to watch these boring broadcasts in the first place.
The other is that almost all popular culture was cooped by shitlibs so many have no interest in turning on the halftime smut show etc. |

Then when I went back to normal life I'm on ipad and there are no clips on social media cause the IOC removes them so idk whats going on. I'm not gonna get a streaming app and watch skiing at 4 am live (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5835344&forum_id=2Reputation#49674261) |

Date: February 16th, 2026 2:22 PM Author: (*)> (i'm in your city) another part of it is that the vast majority of America including whites outside of a few areas have never participated or even seen winter sports. this very much includes the vast majority of whites outside of the NE, California, and Upper Midwest
it is quite gay that this is the case. but it's true. this is prole nation man |

Date: February 16th, 2026 3:42 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, Because Americans used to reflexively turn on the TV every night, and then they'd have 3 options, and the other 2 stations often showed reruns not to compete with the Olympics.
Now, people aren't even putting the TV on, and if they do, they're probably not instinctively putting on Peacock when they can watch literally 100,000 other shows |
