NBC’s ratings for the this year’s Olympic games in Tokyo crashed from what they were five years ago in Rio de Janeiro.
The network is giving advertisers extra commercials to make up for the low viewership. On many days throughout the 17-day spectacle, viewership of the games clocked in at roughly half of what it was for the games in 2016, according to the Associated Press.
“I’ll represent the oppressed people,” Berry added. “That’s been my message for the last three years.”
Wow! First time I’ve ever heard of anyone protesting for straight white men! Fantastic!
That is what she said there, right?
I’m a bit disappointed that apparently no Cubans defected in Japan. It seems every Olympics you hear of at least a few Cubans defecting.
Families held hostage?...................
it’s the diet
That women did not look like a.discus thrower. Total smoke show
she was previously a professional dancer and her body looked it.
I hear he ran a seminary, just to keep him in missionaries.
WTF is an oppressed people> Those of us who pay taxes or those who get welfare, unemployment or those who rob, kill rape and get no bail?
Agenda driven God luvs America.
NBC is crappola and deserves to lose their asses pushing their line of B.S.
She oppressed cause she be ugly. I can’t fix that.
When the promoters promised the Olympics would be the Academy Awards of sports, I knew then I would have nothing to do with it.
If those stupid people begin to understand that, I might start watching again.

I won’t. They’re mostly just a bunch of prima donnas and ingrates living in their own privileged world. There are much better and far more rewarding things to do with your precious time than watching these egos, in my opinion.
They didn’t lie. Nobody watched those, either...............
It would be nice to see C-SPAN or some equivalent run Olympic coverage the same way they cover political speeches, like the SOTU. No commercials, no comments, etc. But, without commercials, there is no way to pay for it.
Megan Rapinho, Gwen Berry and other loons attacking the nation that has sponsored them to represent itself .... yes it turned off a lot of potential viewers. Add to that the difficulty of the time delta, the coverage which consisted more of up-close-and-personal hagiography than actual events.... boom! The Olympics bottom out.
Me either. Not ... one... minute.
I didn’t watch a second of it. If the USOC and the team members choose to disrespect me, I’ll choose never to watch them or buy any product endorsed by them again - and I have a lot more discretionary income than the Antifa dweebs living in their moms basements.
