You may have seen the article on "Deadspin" about the unfortunate Japanese man, Kohei Jinno, who is about to lose his home for a second time because of the Olympics in Tokyo. Jinno is quoted as saying, "I don’t want to see the Olympics at all"
What caught my eye was a couple of responses to the article
"Man. Between this and Sochi, the IOC must really hate fags."
This doesn't play so well on the left side of the Atlantic as there is no knowledge of the slang for cigarettes

Might I suggest watching nothing but NBC for those two weeks then."
It may not be so well known on the right side of the Atlantic how awful and fraudulent the NBC coverage of the Olympics has been - never carrying any of the major events live (always saved for "primetime"), even in 1996 when the Games were in the US.
Unfortunately they have the broadcasting rights for the next 4 Games through to 2020.
