I just saw a segment before the Iraq soccer match which was a hit piece on Bush. NBC criticized Bush for making an ad that includes Iraq and Afghanistan. By the way, the ad doesn't even mention soccer. The NBC hit piece had on some comments from the Iraq soccer team.
That caused me to write a nasty email to NBC Sports:
Sports@MSNBC.com
TOPICS: News/Current Events; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: bush; iraq; iraqiathletes; mediabias; nbc; olympics; soccer

I miss the days when ABC and Jim McKay did the Summer and Winter Olympics. They knew how to present them and make you care about the people taking part. NBC, even though it's had the Summer and Winter Games since 1988, still doesn't have a clue. I'm with you, Uncle Vlad. There's something really shallow about NBC's coverage of the Olympic Games. It just doesn't have the "gravitas" of of the superb coverage provided by Jim McKay and ABC back in the day...

BUMP!!!
And none of the Iraqi players have to worry about dying or being tortured following a loss. God bless THAT!
