    Duh. The winter Olympics is almost exclusively white, with some East Asians. If I were black or Hispanic, I probably would not watch it either.

    You're white, so you probably don't watch pro basketball.

    Good point. Also note that the Asian viewership for the Super Bowl is high and roughly equal to the Asian viewership for the Olympics, despite there being basically no Asians in the NFL.
