Quote Irishwire="Irishwire"TBH you have golf, snooker, test cricket and darts, all boring to watch but hugely popular on Sky as the media are all over it and thats what we need to do as people are sheep and fickle and will follow whatever the media tell them to follow!'"
I often agree with your posts but you and nine arches are wrong IMO I think it's a case of each to their own and I don't think people are that daft/easily led. One man's meat is another man's poison.
I love watching golf but that's because I play it, unfortunately badly, so I can appreciate/admire the skill. I wouldn't expect you to sit through it and gain the same level of enjoyment if its not for you turn over.
Darts on the other hand do me a favour......boring since the days of the crafty Cockney and Jockey Wilson etc proper characters playing an un-sanitised game glass of beer in one hand, fag in the other.
Perhaps this change is a reflection of society as a whole and partly why we've ended up with the game that we have in RL? You can't just blame Sky
