‘”They claimed that since no boxers from the USA were still in the running, they didn’t want to stay anyway.”’
How parochial and narrowminded of NBC.
Besides NBC had to broadcast more important events, like Rhythmic Gymnastics.
“NBC asked to cease ringside commentary at Olympics”
I’ve asked them to cease ringside commentary of the election campaign.
As per the Olympics, there is way too much color commentary.
Dressage was such a fantastic event with those magnificent horses performing to the orchestral scores, yet the NBC commentators couldn’t shut the &%*@ up and just let the horse and rider do all the talking.
Am hoping one day there will be a dvd available with just the dressage performances sans the commentary.
