The network distributed coverage among too many cable channels, did not provide a unified way of allowing people to browse the schedule, and was entirely ethnocentric, so if an American was not leading in the competition, we got no coverage. Even in the parade of nations on opening night, we missed seeing some countries in order to see different groups of the Americans waving at the camera; is that really necessary? Also, they'd advertise a specific competition, then delay coverage to air those backgrounders on the athletes, and more commmercials.
