Am I punishing athletes by not watching?
 ME- not watching them perform at the highest level for their discipline- even though it interests me-because I don’t agree with “stuff” they have nothing to do with- feels to me like I am spiting them.  

that’s just me. I have no idea what it means to you.

I doubt the athletes feel punished that I don't watch.

The accountants at Comcast must feel punished. Somehow NBCUniversal managed to lose money on Vancouver, and with the rancid ratings their ad book isn't going to come around.

I haven't paid much attention but there were some articles over the first few days that ratings were poor.  Of course, they also didn't cover many sports where Americans were expected to excel in the first few days, so that could be part of it.

Olympic athletes punished not by you but by the dreadful food:

Not sure about the athletic events.  I did see in several places that the opening ceremony ratings were way down- 43%.  

I didn’t watch those lol.

You'd think that this might lead to future venue changes...

...but I'm sure the IOC ain't eating any of this crap, so they don't care.

Imagine the dietary needs of a heavy weight lifter or wrestler versus a female gymnast ...

Im a little surprised China is doing this

This is their time to shine so it makes no sense

Its not a matter of cost so why open themselves up to world criticism

I suspect the folks responsible for meals just didn't get the message and don't much care.  Thinks of how many minor details are needed "to shine", everything has to be near perfect.  They might have some son of some apparatchik doing this stuff and he doesn't care.
