Oh.....no! Never! I've watched a couple of the soccer games here from the local team the Beijing team and I wasn't very pleased with the actions. I saw a lot of pushing fouling after I turned on the t.v. and saw about 10 or so fouls in a time span of 5 minutes I changed the channel and never returned to that station again until after that game stopped airing. 

I also tried to watch the basketball game but I also tuned it out. It just didn't look spectacular it was like watching a highschool or middle school game back home with the lower ranked teams in the division playing one another. Maybe it's the video production that turned me off or I don't know just couldn't get into watching it. When I watch NBA games I usually get so pumped that it makes me want to play afterwards after I've watched the entire game end till the last second last buzzard!
