re: #305 Expand Your Ground

This discussion is rather irrelevant to me: I stopped being interested in Olympic coverage years ago, the things I read about the Olympics themselves and their coverage jsut reinforce why I choose to ignore them…

This.

NBC has fubared every Olympics they’ve covered, they concentrate on the gymnasts and the so-called “dream team” (sorry, I stopped watching Olympics Basketball when we stopped sending amateur teams) to the exclusion of other far more interesting sports - fencing, sailing, various equestrian sports, Modern Pentathlon, the classic field events and so on. If I never see one of their over treacly “human interest” stories, I would count myself extremely blessed.

The Olympics only exists anymore as a way to gain bribe money for the IOC & for media companies to sell advertising on. The sports no longer matter.
