Olympics - **** news

What’s up with the other skating announcer that looks like a badly dressed drag queen?
 
It just keeps getting worse and worse for NBC...

Downhill dive: NBC's terrible Olympics get worse in week two as marquee names flee, ratings sink and anchors struggle to find anything good to cover in the wake of school massacre

It was more bad news for NBC on Monday, as Olympian Mikaela Shiffrin announced that she was pulling of out the downhill race on Wednesday in an effort to focus on alpine combined event the following day.

That decision came after organizers moved the combined from Friday to Thursday in order to avoid high winds, and following Shiffrin's disappointing fourth-place finish in the slalom last week.

The golden girl of skiing, who was chasing five Gold medals at these Games, has now pulled out of two events, causing problems for NBC and its prime time coverage which has been lacking in both household names and medal winners.

NBC is also without its two most veteran anchors, Matt Lauer and Bob Costas, and an attempt to bring on beloved figure skater Adam Rippon as a correspondent for the second week of coverage feel apart when the Olympian rejected the network's offer.

A week into the Winter Olympics, the United States has won only 10 medals, leaving little of interest to watch some nights and causing ratings to sink from the previous Olympics.
The olympics are not as big in the US anymore.
They are also losing a major sponsor in Mcdonalds
 
I guess Lindsey Vonn doesn't need to worry about whether to visit Trump for winning a gold.
