While we're at it, let's take another 10% of that and put a government funded NHL team in Winnipeg. At least Canadians would care about that.
I don't know what your argument is could you please explain it more? NBC is doing absolutely great at giving coverage to the athletes, you understand that CBC and CTV bid for the right to show the Olympics and CBC won the bid (tax payer dollars). CTV if they had won would have done just as good of a job maybe better as they have to be accountable not having an endless stream of funds to fall back on.

You can't compare a single NHL hockey team (privately owned) to an athlete wanting to represent their country, sorry.
