The Summer Games are literally the largest sporting event on the planet, hundreds of hours of sports happen every day for 17 days, and yet most of the prime time coverage isn’t showing any of the sports, it’s blathering on the soap opera of the people

That's not what I have been experiencing. It's mostly 90%+ sports and 10% human interest.

Lettuce be real, you can only watch so much soccer, basketball etc without being bored to tears. Swimming, gymnastics etc that have as short, competitive time span are different...way more interesting..of course I have a very short attention span.

It’s not 90% sports, it’s maybe 25% sports, the rest is yabbering. Even when they’re showing the sports they’re doing it stupid with that “as if live” thing that makes them show lots of stuff that didn’t matter, and they know it didn’t matter cause the game already happened. Highlight package. Or at least hire some guys from the NFL channel that do the Replay, they know how to condense a 3 hour game into an hour in a way that maintains a solid narrative, skips the stuff that didn’t matter AND adds in some insight using the post game interviews.
