I already wanted to write something about the UEFA Champions League for some time now but not because I like watching it or am particularly interested in this tournament. It’s exactly the opposite. For those of you who maybe don’t know, well I’m generally as much interested in the sport of football as I am in tennis or ski jumping, which means hardly at all (Actually I think I’d even prefer watching ski jumping to watching football). The only exceptions are tournaments like World- or European Championships like the EURO 2008, where I even watch one or another match on TV.

Anyway let’s cut to the chase. Yes in the past also I was interested in football at least the Austrian league. But also back than I was not interested in the Champions League. Well I think for two main reasons. The first one it that I didn’t have any relation to those teams and for some of them I didn’t even know where their home cities were. Maybe if Austrian teams had been playing there it would have been different.
Another – very important – reason why I never liked the Champions League was this classic choir song that has been playing in every single one of these TV teaser on ORF ever since I remember. It may sound ridiculous but that’s how it is.

Now that I’m not interested in football any more, I also don’t like the Champions League to say the least. Well it just annoys every time it’s on TV.

Well in the beginning I never liked it when ORF started playing CSI nearly every weekday but now I think that those are one of the best parts in ORF’s program (sad, ain’t it?).

And now all this in a nutshell: Today I can’t watch CSI:NY because of the stupid Champions League…..
