Deadline ^ | January 1, 2024 | Lynette Rice

“I grew up watching the Olympics and am thrilled to see the incredible athletes bring their A-game to Paris. It’s a celebration of skill, dedication, and the pursuit of greatness,” said Snoop Dogg in a statement. “We’re going to have some amazing competitions and, of course, I will be bringing that Snoop style to the mix. It’s going to be the most epic Olympics ever, so stay tuned, and keep it locked. Let’s elevate, celebrate, and make these games unforgettable, smoke the competition, and may the best shine like gold. Peace and Olympic LOVE, ya dig?”

Words.Fail.

NBCUniversal is owned by Comcast.

I can only wonder that Comcast/NBCUniversal missed the chance to sign Dylan Mulvaney. There's still time.

Are there any sports fans left on FR? Fewer by the day, I imagine.

Everything touched by television is being subordinated to the cult of celebrity worship. Everything.

He did this before with Kevin Hart and they were pretty entertaining.

Videos on YouTube.

I thought he was dead?

Or was that some other rapper?

Oh well, no matter I suppose.

Of course, he’ll be judging the Bud Smoking competition.

So do I, but what has that to do with the Olympics?

They’ve been a theatrical circus show for years.

My question is: how many people still watch NBC? With cable cutting being a trend in 2023, is there still audience reach?

As for the Olympics, my ex was a huge watcher. Not me.

Yet another sporting event ruined by catering to the female audience.

I recall coverage of the winter and summer Olympics in 1984 as being quite good, then it started sliding downhill with every successive Games - becoming more about entertainment and “Oprah moments”, and less about sports. Now throw DEI into the mix. It’s over.

It was better before it went to NBC, from ABC.

Unlike the more popular than ever college football-

normal folks are tired of watching selfish ungrateful spoiled Olympic imbeciles.

Slush funds in college football are nothing new.

American Olympians hating the nation is mostly new.

I imagine that despite the immense and growing popularity of certain sports, including here that folks imaginations may run wild in confirmation bias to the contrary.

Watching Snoop Dog is like waiting for the stoned guy at the party say something stupid or funny.

Its amusing for brief periods, but gets old fast

I really don’t watch the Olympics. Unfortunately I don’t think adding Snoop will bring viewers in. He doesn’t bring anything more in my opinion or make me want to watch it.
