And as an added bonus you don't have to listen to the constant commentary about how Russia sucks, and how this Olympics is failing.
Literally the first words out of the mouth of the commentator before the opening ceremonies on NBC were about the cost, "terrorism fears" (which ironically are self-perpetuating, due to the American media both creating them and then reporting on it), gay rights, weather, and some of the last minute building issues.
The whole thing feels childish. Like the US media is going out of its way to drag the Russian games through the mud for anything they can cling onto. I mean how many times have they shown the faulty ring in the opening ceremonies? I have seen it at least a dozen.
The US media certainly didn't treat the London summer games with such obvious contempt and disrespect.
