Prelude - Hockey playoffs have started. The sports fan in your life is now settling in to watch the game... um games.. wait. How many games are on at once? And so the channel hopping starts. This time of year is the time when the batteries in the remote are worked to the max. Your sport fan doesn't want to miss a moment. But flipping simply drives you nuts. What to do?
Sport - Hockey
Event - Watching the hockey playoffs. Round 1 has 4 games a night.
Point to say - At some point during the day, pose the following question to your sports fan: "Let's settle in and watch the game tonight."
Follow up point - "What snack do you want to have while watching?"
Get out of the conversation - "See you tonight!"
Backgrounder
First, the intent is to jointly spend time together. Second, and more subversively, it ensures that if you get your fan focused on a particular event/game, channel flipping, or surfing, will be prevented. So, be strategic; encourage the idea of spending time by watching a live event kind of like you'd watch a movie: without being interrupted.
It will be a bit tough. The fan's hand will automatically wish to flip; your fighting humane nature of a typical sports fan. However, if the larger goal of making the night an event rather than something to do wins out, then presto, two pucks one stick aka two birds one stone.
