Watching the last summer Olympics was a total waste of time. CBC was
carrying it here and what they ran was pretty much restricted to events
that Canadians were doing at the time. About 80% of air time seemed to
be devoted to commentators and their idiotic comments and interviews
with mainly Canadian athletes. Meanwhile, there are probably at least a
dozen events going on at any given time that would have been infinitely
more interesting than the comments and interviews. I spent some time
watching the American coverage and it was pretty much the same thing
expect it was American commentators and coverage of events the American
teams were in.
