Is TV coverage justified or just PC?

[telecat]

I do not watch the Paralympics. Sport wise it seems too many of the sports have little competition and to be honest knowing who can do or have what just bores me. Women's football just is not that great either. As a feed to the point a Female Footballer can compete in the "mens" game great. But there are too few Female players who actually look any good let alone teams? Formula E is a joke as well. Any other sports that seem to be televised just so the Network can seem PC?

I do watch the paras, mostly the same disciplines that I watch for the Olympics, I'm not that bothered about the throwing stuff whoever's doing it. I don't think Channel4 would have given over most of its air time to the paras just to be PC, it's not like they have another channel to use (eg BBC could have put it on 4 or red button while keeping everything else going)

I don't watch women's football, but then I don't watch men's football very much either. Saying it could be a feed for men's is a bit daft, do you think women's tennis, athletics etc should only happen if they were a feed for the men's version?

I can't get excited about formula E, but it might be the testbed that's needed to push technology forward to make electrickery more useful in road cars.
