Yeah even watching gymnastics last night, they pretty much only show US competitors. At least with swimming they were forced to show other countries.

- ryandrake 5y agoEven in events where they are forced, by the nature of the event, to show competitors from non-US countries, the announcers spend the entire event fawning all over the US competitors without pause or silence. While a non-US athlete is up there setting a new world record, NBC aims the camera at the US guy and says things like "It's a race for bronze, folks!"
- wombat-man 5y agoyeah, I watched a swimming heat where the announcer was speaking as if it were even possible for the US swimmer to win and they got like 5th.
