I should say, that's part of the problem. There's still the extreme hatred of guns in particular and weapons in general on the part of Big Media.

You do know that there's Olympic Archery, right?

You sure wouldn't know it from NBC's "coverage" of the games ...

I do know that there is archery. It got more tv time when the actress Geena Davis was on the Olympic team. (I beat my whole den, including the teen staff and the other adult leader, at archery during Cub Scout day camp this summer.)

I think we agree, though, that there’s more than one factor involved. I understand that NBC was offering all the events live-streaming; I assume it was for a fee, but maybe not. It would be interesting to know the viewership of different events in that format. Surely that would tell us what people want to watch ... although that’s a different thing from what people are *willing* to watch of the events offered in free broadcast.
