You have to wait a whole day to see how so and so won this and that. Plus Bob Costas is the worst commentator of all time. Basketball was NOT invented in America. James A. Naismith, a Canadian, invented it in Southern Ontario. Dr. Shanx, Toronto I agree with Fred.
Tape delay takes the suspense out of the competition.
In Switzerland, they showed it live after midnight and replayed in the evening. I lost many a night's sleep, but would not have it any other way. As an outsider looking in, I can not believe the American public did not have a chance to see, live, the greatest Olympic Games of all time. It is a fact of life for all Aussies to have to stay up to the wee, small hours to watch live world-class sports. Surely Americans are as passionate about their sports as Aussies are.
