NBC will be working overtime to portray Rio as a Potemkin Village along with all the liberal feel good human interest stories about poor victimized exploited athletes. Maybe we’ll see a reduction in 24/7 Trump hit pieces. Maybe they will find a way to blame the Olympic woes on Trump.

Add to that the time when our ‘72 basketball team was screwed out of gold by corrupt officiating plus seeing all of the Soviet and east German female athletes with masculine figures and goatees and nothing being done about it.
