The issue here is just a matter of respect. I have tuned out during long speeches and visuals do help but I do try to pay attention and often enjoy the presentations.
I was talking about during matches. We have several members on our team who don't watch unless we are playing, and even then some do not care. It is sickening to me. I find every moment of the competitions to be extremely exciting.

I agree that a lack of respect is the cause for not paying attention during speeches. Then again I have also quit paying attention during Deans speeches. However it was due to the fact that at Traverse City the system was screwy and you couldn't understand a word he said and at Detroit it may have just been me but it seemed too quiet and the screen was too dark.
