Study: Teens Not Interested In Olympics

Only 46 percent of teens surveyed by Harris Interactive showed any interest in watching the Olympics. And if teens are indeed abstaining, it’s not because they think that the Olympics are a crass, greedy commercial enterprise — in fact, 71 percent of those polled “were likely to agree that the games are about more than merely medals and marketing,” according to Harris Interactive. So why won’t they watch? Because it’s not convenient for them.
