    I'd like to but I can't stand NBC coverage. 90% of the events they cover will be won by an American. When they do show a non-American it's usually when they fuck up. I was in :aus-delenda-est: for the 2014 games and watched it on ABC. Much more enjoyable.

        I think in theory this is true for NBC, but a lot of it is behind either a steep paywall for the relevant cable package or you have to pay for their fucking streaming service.

        It sucks. I used to use a VPN to watch the BBC's coverage but I think they've locked that down a bit more and it was such a hassle.

          fair, that is also the case here there is a lot of programs that are just cable exclusive but brazillian piracy culture makes it really easy to find someone streaming those channels online and stuff it is kinda of a bummer like i feel like the olympics are really fun and everyone should be able to watch it for free
