Q.1 What is the difference between watching sports events at home and at the stadium?

Q.2 What are the advantages of watching sports events online?

Ans-Well, watching a game at home people get more comfort as they don't have to queue for food or toilets for hours, get cold if the weather is not really good and waste hours after the game to get out of the parking lots. Instead, they can enjoy the warmth of their home, the company of their close friends and unlimited snack breaks during long timeouts and halftime. They can also easily pause the game and not miss out on any of the action and, of course, replay the episodes they want to see one more time. Watching a match at the stadium people get first hand touch of the event and create long-lasting memories of a fun and entertaining atmosphere created by a large number of fans. One more advantage they get being at the stadium is a chance to focus on anything that catches their attention as they are not restricted to a particular view of the camera, which is unfortunately impossible watching a game on TV. Oh, and the last difference I see is the fact that going to the stadium can cost people quite a bit of money, while enjoying the game at home is for free.

Q.3 Why does somebody dislike to watch the Olympic Games?

Ans-Well, I think on a large scale because of the commercialization of the Games and the fact that the Olympics are no longer a sporting contest but a contest of sponsors. Or, maybe, because people don't have that much time to watch all the sports and games, especially if there are only a few sports at the Olympics they care about. Oh, well, there can be one more reason for this, I think, - the fact that their country doesn't participate in the contest, which makes watching it senseless.
