I admit I do love to watch the Olympics. I also admit that I hate to watch on NBC. To NBC the Olympics are simply a challenge to see how much we Olympic and sport lovers will tolerate. NBC of course lives in the dark ages, well actually is there a time period older than that?
Tape delay? In this day of social media? Really? I mean we have to put up with more commercials than events anyway - and of course the delay viewing schedule means no participation in the social media discourse with the rest of the world. How isolated we are - thank you NBC for reaffirming our being out of touch. By the time NBC shows the big events, NoBody Cares.
Do not even get me started on the fact that they censored the Opening ceremony and hacked up the coverage like a bad butcher. Cutting the memorial bit to the London bombing victims - heartless, soulless. To replace it with an interview with Michael Phelps - cheap, tawdry, offensive --- but over time would we expect anything better from NBC? No, Nothing But Crap coverage from them.
By the way please tell the hosts to try and shut up a bit while we watch - or is talking during a movie or performance now acceptable too?
As a sport lover and to let you all know I am not Mr. Negative .. the streaming and live coverage of all the events you can watch during the day is quite good - it is basically what everyone else in the world gets. Nice. I have all my evenings free to watch reruns of the Nosy Bitch Chick I so much enjoy.
