The one year I actually tried to watch the Olympics, every time I turned it on, it was always curling. Which seems like it’d be a fun game if you were drinking a beer and playing, but not the greatest spectator sport.
Lower 48 here, I make sure all the appropriate TVs at work (news channels) are set to Curling. Its the best winter olympics sport to watch. Firstly, because I can follow it. Secondly, because its players are frumpy dads showing the upmost concentration, not the herculean athletes blowing out the events condom supply. I find it relatable, and magical, those people are physics wizards, and I dont know how they do those that with shuffleboard on ice

Curling was a sport ruled by fat middle aged men smoking and getting drunk. They should bring that back, along with the floppy brooms and berets.
I see a lot more fat guys at softball than curling, actually
You are incorrect. Watching curling right now.
Fun fact, more people in Canada watch curling than hockey.
Edit: Canada vs China is a really good match.

If you are in the Netherlands there’s a 99% it’s speed skating instead.
The ultimate sport for sleeping
Only the last two shots of each end are the spectator portion. /s
