Nearly Done

2014 has been another of those grim “Summer of Sport”s that piss me off.  But it’s nearly over, which is A Good Thing.

This year’s sport includes…

  • Winter Olympics
  • World Cup (Football)
  • Commonwealth Games
  • Wimbledon (as usual)
  • UK Grand Prix (as usual)
  • Tour de France (as usual) with UK start
  • Various cricket things
  • Various rugby things
  • Various cycling things
  • Other stuff I can’t recall right now.

The real genius is that a lot of it was all on the same weekend – Grand Prix, World Cup, Wimbledon and Tour de France start. Genius right there.

Still, we’re now at the point – now the World Cup’s finally bloody over – where it’s (I think) just the Commonwealth Games to go from the list of ‘main’ events.

And then of course we’ll just be back to the normal football instead. *sigh*

    Meanwhile, there are new movies out every week, theatres keep on putting shows and plays on, and dammit, all those books keep getting released!

    And don’t even start me on gaming or TV! They never stop!!

    It’s awful, all these things that no-one likes… do they?

    Although in fairness most of those aren’t trumpeted all over every fucking media channel in civilisation (and beyond)

    Sport seems to carry the default assumption of “Everyone gives a shit about it”, which most other interests/pastimes/hobbies/whatever don’t.

    I’m not snarking at anyone who is interested in [Sport] or follows it, just that I ain’t one of ’em.
