I’m sorry but NBC should not be airing any sporting events period! They absolutely ruined the Indy 500 with commercials every 2 laps ( thank goodness it was the fastest race ever) and the commentary was abysmal at best. And now the Olympics…. well I can’t post what I would like to. Anyway someone at the top either needs to be fired or listen to your viewers, there were many like me extremely dissatisfied with the 500.

  Thanks, I’m glad to know that’s the case. Olympics schedules are definitely the most time-consuming.
