The best thing about soccer is it is 45 minutes of uninterrupted sport (minus the fake injuries). 18 minutes into the game this morning, NBC pukes up three minutes of commercials for their unwatchable shows. Hope soccer doesn't catch on in America, The networks will ruin it.

Disagree, FGM.

I like sports, I don't like commercials, so soccer is my refuge from the marketing departments across the networks that over promise their product and under deliver on it.

Commercials blo donkees.

Wife and I always keep the remote handy to MUTE them.

And of course gringo tv coverage of the Olympics really sux if any Americans are in the competition.....since then, the tv network will show no others! As in the tennis tourneys, you have to hope the Sistahs crash out early, or they are all you will ever see coverage of.

I never ever watch a show that hasn't been recorded on the DVR so I can skip passed the commercials.

I'm in the same boat, hate commercials! My thinking is this: I pay for my cable television. If I were watching TV for free (antenna on the roof type of thing) I could deal with commercials, but I don't. So long as I am giving my money to a broadcast company, I should be able to watch any channel I pay for without commercial interruption.

You mean there's still something other than cable??? I vaguely remember NBC... Was that the one with Howard Cosell and Peewee Reese? No wait, I think that was the other one.

I saw about ten minutes of Japan vs. a Spanish farm club team & that was all she wrote for the Olympics.💤

We seldom watch anything that hasn't been recorded already. I haven't watched commercials in probably over a year. We were watching the women's sand volleyball last night and skipping through commercials ended up catching up to real time. At that point, we flipped over to another show that we had already recorded and watched that half hour. After that was over, went back to the volleyball, sans commercials and also watched Phelps get his azz handed to him by Lochte. Went to bed after that. Will watch other areas of interest later today.

Hmmm... I wonder what cable would cost me monthly if there was no advertising?
