I have to agree with you all regarding Football coverage. I don't hate the game as a sport, but I don't have any interest in Football myself, but it is the only sport will mass coverage that is rammed down your throat if you like it or not.
And people who are Football fans seem to find it hard to understand why you wouldn't also be as interested in it as they are when they try to start a conversation about Football and you tell them you don't follow it.
I think this is one reason it is covered so much, because a large proportion of the working classes, in the UK at least, are fanatical about it as it is one of the only things outside of their mundane lives they they can feel a part of. For the rest of us we just have to grim and bare it.
I have always wished some other sports were covered in much more detail. Many of the motor sports around the world are not covered much in the UK at all. Nascar and Indycar are hard to find coverage for in the UK, as are others motorsports such as the Aus V8 series. Or Tennis, although it is covered for some of the bigger championships most of the events around the world are not covered that well.
