You don't find value in enjoying a 90 minute game with friends? I'm all for limiting TV but World Cup 2018 is not really an endless cycle, they only do it once every 4 years and it's far less content than the Olympics.
I spend quality time with my friends & family to discuss about our day-to-day incidents and others, not to debate on a third person's performance on the pitch. Also, I don't find much difference among Olympics or Fifa World Cup or any other world sporting leagues, regardless of their popularity or duration, I find all of them to serve NIL for my prosperity- just a frequent hit of dopamine, that's all.
But, what disappoints me is I was academically & extracurricular-wise far more superior than them (except IO medals), still not a single so called elite colleges accepted me. But, I am an optimist and what I've learned about myself is I can teach myself the COMPUTER SCIENCE far better than somebody else. I don't know what will happen in few years time, I may stay unemployed or may land my dream job, but the thing is, I am always learning and I do believe that my skills will be appreciated.
