“I can’t stand all the back stories in the Olympics though...”
Agreed. There are more than enough events to fill the time slots. But then the Olympics wouldn’t appeal to the “Lifetime” demographic...
“But then the Olympics wouldn’t appeal to the “Lifetime” demographic...”
Exactly.
Bingo. The Olympics TV coverage is all about women viewers. They figure they have all of the men, no matter what they show.
Gymnastics, ice dancing, rhythmic gymnastics, pairs diving, pairs skating, synchronized swimming, women's basketball and hockey and the rest of the feminized drivel make that quite clear. Fortunately I have unlimited cloud DVR and can record every Olympic event on TV. Then I can watch the ones that interest me and skip the commercials and “up close and personal” segments. Even Greco-Roman wrestling is moderately interesting without the foo-foo stuff.
