I didn’t realize it till it’s too late.
Tonight NBC was showing the men’s volleyball match between US and Greece. When they started it was Game 4 and the Americans were trailing at 12-16 or something. Then the US came up and the two teams exchanged leads until the US won the game 26-24. By then, I could have imagined who’d won the match eventually. Ah, not yet. Game 5. More watching. Finally, not to my (or anybody’s) surprise, the US went on to win the game and the match.
To be sure, it’s a fantastic match. I’ve always liked watching men’s volleyball and like before enjoyed the incredible spikes, blocks and digs the two teams put up to win the match. But the way NBC tailored the match to preserve and show the *whole* comeback process of the US team totally ruined it and made me want to vomit. Oh my gosh, CCTV could have done a more smooth job!
Guess I only have myself to blame. Whoever stupid enough to watch the Primetime NBC Olympic coverage, for that long, deserves this royal treatment.
