The one sport I really enjoyed watching yesterday was the Biathlon....Skiing and Shooting.This is the sport that gets all the static from the critics. This is also a very important activity during wartime in a number of Nordic countries.

I am SO with you on that. I’m 49, and I remember when I was a kid and the Olympics were huge, just like the Oscars, and Miss America, and God knows what else. Now they are ALL so old and tired and yesterday.

NBC Edits Out IOC Anti-Discrimination Statement From Opening Ceremony

Viewers worldwide heard the statement; NBC viewers in the U.S. did not, because the network edited it out.
The video above is how it aired on NBC tonight. You’ll notice a very awkward edit. Below is how it appeared everywhere else on Earth to viewers watching live:

The Russians are thugs, presided over by President “THUG” Putin. Nothing has changed.

Actually, they weren’t that bad...especially when the rest of the choir joined in on the harmonic “ahhhh” parts. The looks on some of the “older more disapproving” choir members were funny...as though they half expected Stalin to show up and have them all shot!
