I was surfing the channels on our TV last night and saw, yet again, Olympic Curling. I realize it is a slow and deliberate game so it takes longer to decide who gets the medals. However, how many times can curling be broadcast during primetime? Am I missing something or is this sport a more ancient version of the shuffleboard games we all know and love from taverns in America? If it is it begs the question, will the leaders of the Winter Olympics make Bar Shuffleboard an event in future years? Media-wise, which I know little about, it seems as if it is a natural event to lure more viewers. Think of all those shufflers working out in local taverns competing for beers and the right to continue playing the board. The beer-makers and hops-producers would be natural corporate sponsors. The discs are smaller, no brooms or sweepers, a more interesting setting, and frankly a quicker pace.
I do need to check around and see if I can find work. Too much time.
