Olympic heartbreak
I was looking forward to some quality Olympic viewing this weekend and discovered I don't get NBC?! I'm told that some shady deal between FCC and NBC resulted in a broadcasting tower worthy of your local pirate radio station. So if you live in San Francisco or Oakland, unless you have cable TV you are denied access to NBC. On any other day, this wouldn't bother me. But given that NBC has bought the rights to broadcase the Olympics, I'm being robbed!
It's the unalienable right of every sports fan to spend 2 weeks every 4 yrs immersed in the weirdness of synchronized swimming, cringing at face plants off the parallel bars, learning the requisite points taken for a fall from the high beam, marvelling at the average feet size of Olympic swimmers, dissecting the physics behind the hammer throw, spotting the smallest country represented at the games...All that Olympic fun is happening without me...I'm so sad...
