We get news and sporting results on the web as they happen. NBC's tape delays are melodramatic and not good sports coverage. I have never been able to watch a sporting event on a tape delay basis and enjoy it. I find it ridiculous to cheer on teams when the outcome has already been decided. Sporting events are not scripted plays.
Fans deserve live television coverage.
NBC has let down the American sporting fan, preferring to make bundles of money at the expense of real sports broadcasting. It is apropos that they will join with the World Wrestling Federation to create a new football league, a league of scripted drama. That is what NBC has done to the Olympics. They add drama instead of broadcasting the real sport, at the real time. Technology may have spoiled me but I expect my sports live.
