The reason some people see the trial as important is because of the principal of the matter - that he lied to a grand jury and to an extent the precedent it sets (that last part couldnt impact me less). The reason other people dont care is because of the context in which he lied - he lied to feds trying to bust some illegal drug distributor selling drugs to multi-million dollar athletes with no perceivable effect on society as a whole. They're both reasonably logical perceptions based on the world you happen to live in and the way you construct your views.
