They send Peter Jenning there instead

Cosell was in Munich to do the boxing events. Til the day he died he was jealous and angry that ABC stayed with Jim McKay the entire course of the siege. No one from ABC News division was on the scene at the Olympic Village. McKay covered it til the very end when he said “They’re gone. They’re all gone.” McKay’s performance that day is one of the great individual performances in TV journalism. Not bad for a guy who got his start narrating Divorce Court.
