Like you, I have avoided watching certain sports during the Olympics (skating being the best example) because of the judging, which is COMPLETELY subjective. I have been watching curling which does not have anything subjective (unless you count when they have to measure close stones, and even then there is science involved). We all need to stop and think before we react to any issues. At least then our reasoning would be much less emotional and therefore more objective.
