No he should not dammit. That was loving incredible. Especially considering it came out of the mouth of Bob Costas.

They should be looking at this as a opportunity. I'm way more inclined to watch the dumb rich person horse events if they include the possibility of someone being mauled by a wild cat.

I'm still a little pissed that the Barcelona games didn't have the Running of the Bulls as a medal competition.

They could have had World Cup level ratings.

Honestly the best thing that ever would happen from a ratings perspective would be for an on air murder to happen. I'm guessing it's more a "what countries can we safely take a commercial during" thing.

It definitely would be a balancing act. You'd probably have to show at least the top 15-20 big countries going through the course or they'd get pissy, but at the same time you don't really want to broadcast Ivan Ivanovich getting gored with a bull horn going right through the Russian flag on his front.

My favorite bit is her asking why the cheerleaders have to wear their uniforms but the players don't. I know cheerleaders and players aren't exactly an apples to apples comparison in the NFL but that's a pretty egregious example of sexism in the workplace, especially considering that they told a woman who dared ask a question about it to be quiet and not to ask those kind of questions.

The problem is that 90% of the article is a pretty demonstrative display of entitlement.

I don’t see what they need to apologize for. It’s not their job to oversee USA Gymnastics so it seems like quite a reach to me to say they need to say they were wrong for something.

If they knew and still did nothing, sure, but it seems pretty clear to me that USA Gymnastics and the USOC went to great lengths to make sure it didn’t get past them to any of these outlets.

I do think they have an obligation to at least mention it though.
