Is anyone surprised that Olympic sports would report higher interest in an Olympics year than an off year? That's not a particularly surprising finding. If anything the surprising part there is that both numbers are so high.
Right? Olympic sports more popular than the NFL? Seems odd.

The article discusses that the first poll was in an Olympic year.
Not clear to me how they define Olympic sports, but assuming it includes ice skating, skiing, volleyball, gymnastics, swimming, diving, rowing, sailing, etc....I dont think it would be hard to believe a large number of people are fans of at least one of those sports.
