I watched the Dolphin Swimming Part... and i thought its kinda unfair that people with different handy caps swim against each other.. i mean there is a difference between 1 leg and 1 hand xD

I find that to be unusual. Maybe it has something to do with broadcast rights? Wouldn't be the first time.

There's your answer. The rights are probably exclusive so the other channels couldn't show anything even if they wanted to.

the rights to the olympics are separate to the rights of the paralympics (though sometimes negotiated as a package)
Furthermore, how rights get split up and/or shared by channels is structured differently for different events. Might be that some channels bought the rights to some events of the olympics, and other channels bought rights to other events. It can get quite complicated.
and that's without taking into consideration those countries that by law ensure that some events are broadcast publicly

I like the Paralympics better than the Olympics there is usually a tv show about the games on over here around about the time but I seem to have missed it this year. the YES I CAN advert was fucking awesome saw a woman with no arms using nunchaku with her foot it was amazing seriously fucking amazing .

How is it unfair that it doesn't get the same attention? It doesn't have the same interest.

Very serious. You have failed herein to elucidate on the nature of your disappointment about people's lack of interest in the Paralympics.

What you literally said was that it "upsets [you] a little." I can see how instead of answering any of my questions you would focus on that I said you were disappointed.

i'm a bad person who only watched a few clips to leer at the ladies play games like yolleyball like a pervy old man
also because i dont really watch tv or care for sports of any kind for too long (with the exception of UFC fighting, that stuff actually can hold my interest for longer than others)

...no one seems to be caring about the Paralympic Games... :c
EDIT: I'm not trying to guilt trip anyone, I'm just trying to spark some discussion and awareness about the Games. ^^ And I mean 'not caring' as in the actual broadcasters not covering much and audiences not being receptive to it as much as they were to the Olympics (obviously, if you don't care about sports, this doesn't apply to you).
