NBC's Olympic ratings are very poor. The camera coverage per sport covered is exceptional. The producers have not figured out how to cover each of the sports in a way that is interesting and informative. The interviewers need lessons on how to conduct interviews. They seem interested in only digging up and perpetuating scandle as a way to extend a bad story. In example....the Shani Davis/ Chad Hedrick disagreements. They have two medals between them.....Joey Cheek has three and you don't hear much about him.
And...I am really, really sick of hearing about athletes that aren't pure white being positioned as some kind of of hero for their race by winning a sporting event. It just does not matter any more.
Tiger Woods is touted as being Afican American. Not even close. His mother is full Thai and Father is about a third African.
I did love the answer that Shani gave the interviewer when asked about being the first African American to win a winter Olympic medal?...."I feel Good".
