At my school yesterday, kids were using their iPads during class to keep track if the Canada America game. During science the sub even let us stop class temporarily to see who won.
Half of the people in my English class were watching the hockey game and 0 people in my Computer Science class, which is right after my English class, were watching the game.
I live near Seattle and after the Superbowl there was a Seahawks parade downtown and like half the kids in my school went to the parade (it was on a Wednesday).
I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING I WENT TO SCHOOL AND WE HAD THREE TESTS FOR THAT DAY, ALL CANCELLED BECAUSE THE TEACHERS DIDN'T WANT TO MISS ANYTHING. MY DENTIST APPOINTMENT WAS CANCELLED BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T PULL THE DENTISTS AND CLIENTS AWAY FROM THE TV I SHIT YOU NOT
Sadly nobody really cares about the Olympics here either.
