I would be interested in the games if I could see them. Unfortunately, NBC’s schizoid coverage prevents that.
The fact that they are on NBC is a good reason not to watch. Not to mention, I might accidentally watch one of Obama’s stupid ads (which NBC probably gave him a discount on).
Actually, the online site “NBC Olympics” continuously includes some live video feeds of nearly all of the sporting events as they are happening (including all of the sports that are not shown on NBC) and without any commentators and without any commercial interruptions. IMHO, it’s much better to watch the Olympics without listening to the commentators, without having all of those “Olympic video journals” that NBC does every now and then, and without having all of those commercial interruptions. BTW, there are also ways of seeing the Olympics through the video feeds of many other television stations all over the world, thanks to the Internet. I saw the Opening Ceremony Live, thanks to “Justin.tv” Live Sports Online. I watch the Olympics for the athleticism of each athlete and not because of my politics. Like it or not, most of the best athletes in the world compete in the Olympics, and everybody who doesn’t watch them for any reason, either live or on tape, are truly missing out on seeing most of the best athletes in the world doing what they truly do best.
