Apparently some people are up in arms because NBC didn't mention that he was gay on their broadcast. Overall, my score for NBC's Olympic coverage: F+

Overall, my score for NBC's Olympic coverage: F+ People would have been mad if they said he was gay. Especially since with that diving announcer lady, who probably would have said it in some offensive way, like "Now he's bouncing around like an excited little girl". How would people have reacted to that?

For the most part of the race it was a 5 way nail biter. Then the Kenyan comes running in and not only does he win gold but he makes an Olympic record. I think the Moroccon also made an Olympic record. I feel bad for the Ethipoian who came in fourth. He looked like he was in real pain and his face really showed it.

Apparently some people are up in arms because NBC didn't mention that he was gay on their broadcast. To be objective... it wasn't just that they didn't mention he was gay, it was that they did not even show his family/partner throughout the fnal's event, did not show how family/partner when he won, and just basically glossed over the fact the he DID have family who supported him no matter what and had a committed partner who is/was there for him. NBC made it a point to showcase the other gold medal winner's families from allied countries who were there. For Mitcham, he was basically edited as an orphan.

But it was definitely also worth mentioning as he was the ONLY openly gay male athlete at these Olympics, which is pretty damn significant. Only ten in total, pretty shocking. I loved him! http://www.theglobeandmai.../BNStory/beijing2008/home

Posts: 1695 (08/24/08 8:34 PM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Sorry but watching the closing ceremonies, the commentators on NBC have been far more knowledgeable than the CBC ones about the athletes that were popping up in the shots, even ones from other countries, which is pretty much true of most of the coverage (although there are definitely a lot of douchey commentators on NBC). Throughout there were too many examples of CBC flatout ignoring non-Canadian athletes to mention, worse than the NBC a lot of the time, but yeah, it's over phew. Frankly I'm so tired of hearing how fantastic CBC coverage is (and the inevitable corrolary of how horrible NBC is) when there were definitely a lot of things about it that were infuriating. I'm just glad Brian Williams is finally gone.

That little double decker bus presentation with Leona Lewis singing Led Zeplin was lame as hell. Last Edited By: bradwalk 08/24/08 8:57 PM. Edited 1 times.

It is Vancouver next up and there is no way we will have anything close to that spectacle. The closing ceremonies has been interesting, but nothing compared to the opening.

So... no.

That BBC guy was working way too hard. This does not bode well. Still, for once, a mishap in this Olympiad wasn't the fault of NBC or the Commies, but the BBC.

Nothing against him, but why does NBC have to put him on such a huge pedestal? And then when you dare to say anything about how annoying NBC is about it, everyone gets all mad at you, like Michael Phelps somehow became Jesus by winning some gold medals. Seriously, it's like you can't dare to complain about the Phelps overkill.
