    Because it would be the end of the world for Costas to spend 20 seconds mentioning a sport no one gives a crap about. It's exactly as expected from a multinational corporation trying to turn a profit.

    Send your complaints to NBC and add your voice to the hundreds of thousands of others who don't like their coverage and are unhappy (enter name of fringe sport here) isn't being covered as much as they would like.
    Nah, I'll just not watch as much as I normally would. I have better things to do today. Going to go shooting skeet myself.

      Bolt didn't even try. Halfhearted effort for the first 50 and coasted the last 50, still wins his heat.

          Look in the mirror.

          For the record I watched the last Olympics pretty religiously - taping a lot of the events shown on the other channels besides NBC main and remember seeing a lot of shooting events. A lot of them. I didn't say they shouldn't mention the accomplishment it nor that it would be a bad thing. My point is they are going to follow the ratings interests of the average viewer for better or worse.

          Oh and per another poster they did talk about it so unbunch the panties.

            Pay attention, then. She was interviewed at length this morning. Mentioning that she has had a very difficult last 3 years, and still managed to still keep her head in the sport so that she could be here and medal, again.

            On top of that, the men's skeet gold medal match was shown, too.

            Stop pretending that there is some kind of agenda. Sailing is getting less air time than shooting. An old favorite- weightlifting- is almost done, and I've not seen any of it.

              I was posting about it last night, before she was interviewed THIS MORNING.

                Soccer drama: Hondoras acts like they have a dead player and somehow the time to deal with that never got added on to extra time. The Korean's were rightfully ****ed at that as they were trailing 1-0.

                  You didn't stop whining about it this morning, nor did you post that it was shown. Weak. very weak.

                    The guy did fall on the ball.... That would have hurt. And he stayed out.

                    Why the ref didn't add more than 40ish seconds is a mystery.

                      How is doing nothing but shooting targets even an Olympic sport? Make a summer version of the biathlon so there is at least some athleticism required.

                        That was a great 10,000m Mo Farah get's tripped up part way through the race, and he still goes on to win.

                          Even with the fall, it seemed like he had to expend just 2% extra energy for his effort. He still went to the front and dared other runners to go out and beat him...

                              On replays, it looked like he tripped himself up. And still won. Amazing finish to that race.
                              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
