ok i think i found a answer if you go to calendar settings and them click on one of the calendars not syncing like world cup or baseball you will see toward the bottom that there is a small button that says HTML i think html calendars cant sync to ur evo or any android phone but if they have xml or ical icons they can sync

if you want a world cup calendar that syncs here you go
just make sure you are logged in on ur computer to google calendars and click the google calendar button at bottom right of the page and then go to ur evo and then to account s and sync settings and find ur main google account and press sync now then go back to ur calendar and u got world cup calendar on ur evo

here is world cup calendar

HUGE thanks, figured it out and I now know to add sports calendars that I can find elsewhere in iCal format. You're the man

ok to be able to sync you google apps domain calendar as well you will need to enable Google Sync on your google domain
then you will have to add the google domain account you want to sync
use the Mail app and choose Exchange account and put in your login info then press Manual Setup and then on that screen delete where it had your domain as the server and type in m.google.com
then check the ssl checkbox and press next it will authenticate then it will ask you if you want to sync your calendar, email and contacts for that google domain account i chose just to sync the calendar since i am using the Gmail app for the email on that google domain account

if you have any other questions let me know

I've been trying to figure out how to get the birthdays on Google contacts to show up on Google Calendar. Do you know if this will work or is just not possible to sync them?

yes u can sync ur contacts birthdays
login on a pc to ur google account go to calendar
then once in google. calendar go to settings then go to the calendar tab and look for interesting calendars near right side of the list of other calendars
then u will see sports holiday calendars then go to more or other tab and u will see contacts biethdays and evemts click subscribe and on ur evo go to setings and accounts and sync option then find ur main google account click sync so it will sync ur calendar and once sync is done go to ur calendar on evo and it should have ur contacts birthdays

Excellent write up! Worked like a charm! Those options are not as accessible as I thought they'd be.
Thanks!

If you read the FAQ's for Google Sports Calendars you will see that Google clearly says that they do not support syncing of Sports Calendars.
