HA HA!!! NBC's horrific coverage is a major reason I don't watch the Olympics anymore.

It used to be fun and patriotic

But with the whiny GenX’er thinking they all should get Gold medals for just participating, and spitting on our president, I have lost any interest I might have had.

Worst coverage of an Olympics I’ve ever seen. It is more or less coverage directed at the globalists. It’s hard to tell who the Americans are and the medal count is downplayed. I like Tariko though. He’s a class act.

Americans just don’t want to watch two guys in spangled jumpsuits kissing each other. It is that simple.

It seems like many of the athletes and announcers are condescending, spoiled brats. At least the ones covered the most are. Maybe that is who we have become as a nation.

I resent NBC having that freak, Johnny Wierd in my face. They are preoccupied with homosexuality and I’m sick of it.

First time I’ve not watched the Olympics.

“and even Lester Holt’s position at NBC Nightly News is reportedly in jeopardy.”

I am smiling from ear to ear.

They’re just now feeling “network tension”?! They’ve been losing viewers for years.

I see yet another company is learning that catering to the freaks doesn’t really work.

They can have guys kissing guys all they want — most of us won’t be watching.

Too much figure skating. Too much freestyle. Too much commentary. Too many commercials. All the hockey looks like it was relegated to NBCSN which I don’t get. That left some speed skating and a couple of snowboard and ski cross events which are always fun. My fast forward button got quite the workout this olympics.

You have games that USED to represent the American people, now you have participants who only represent liberals. Snotty kids who think their opinions matter. Why would we watch?

I stopped watching and caring about the “Olympics” many moons ago. After reading about the DNC’s toadies in the “media” drooling all over the chubby little NORK dictator’s “gorgeous” sister and North Korea in general, I knew I had made the right decision.

I think Trump has empowered us all to say “eff off” when the media tries to ram an agenda down our throats. And I’m really really tired of the virtue signaling commercials.

I do watch the Olympics but only the Aerials, jumping, bobsled, luge. I record it all and skip the rest.

Let’s give credit where it’s due, the decline began back in the 70’s when they turned the music over to John Williams.

If Lester Holt is to be replaced, what does the Intersectionality Matrix demand he be replaced with?

I’ve been sleeping so soundly these two weeks. It’s just plain boring to show winter sports. It’s been putting me into a sound sleep. Figure skating is the exception. I wish they’d show more of that. The female skaters last night exhibited the elegance and skill of those of years ago.

Olympics, fake news and abysmal primetime lineup. We don’t watch NBC at all. Zilch. Zero. Nada. Nothing for years and years.
