I don't understand why the BBC needs to tie up so many channels to show it right now.
I do like sport, but snooker isn't sport, is it?

Was gonna say the same.

Like watching someone play Minesweeper or something.

I don't like the Olympics, didn't watch any this year and previously found it extremely boring overall. I still acknowledge that millions of people do, so it makes sense for it to be on TV so much.
They must be getting the desired viewing numbers if snooker is being broadcast so often.

I don't like snooker (I love it)
Showing my age .

I'm sad at the lack of sport on UK TV, football, rugby etc all on Pay Per View.

I don't like sport but think it should be shown on terrestrial channels

It goes on for weeks. Why not best of 3 frames and get over and done within a couple of days?

Because that's not how the game works. Why don't they have football matches lasting 30 minutes or car races of 3 laps?

And different people like different things so all you have to do is not watch it if you don't like it.
