I have watched some of the Olympics off and on, and I know the USA is not having a raving success in the medals count, but does anyone know if NBC has broadcast any medals ceremony with the Star Spangled Banner playing? I didn’t know whether I have just missed that, or they are NOT showing, in case someone might be offended by the National Anthem.

They have made a conscious decision not to show the medal ceremonies aside from the first 3 or so - Red Gerard was one, very cool to see. There was an article about this yesterday but I can’t recall where.
Their excuse is the timing of the medal ceremonies, etc. Of course I think the US has only won 10 medals total, but I wouldn’t mind seeing the other countries getting their medals. Bottom line, NBC is lame.
