Nobody is forcing you to watch or care about the Olympics. You chose to read the article and comment on it.

Ads. Ads are forcing me to care about the Olympics. Peer pressure forces me to watch the Olympics to know what people are talking about.

Are they? At worst they force you to notice that the olympics are going on.

Talk about something else with these people if the olympics don't interest you...

I don't control other people's topics of conversation.
You're correct, they force me to notice over and over again.

Talk with other people then...

Just because it didn't bother you doesn't mean it doesn't bother me.

So you have more options than I do it seems, doesn't justify being rude.
And what? I might like sports, but not the way it's presented. I like that people share their joy of performance, I don't like the celebration of competition, but rather of collaboration and shared enjoyment, which should be what is truly celebrated
