Olympic movement when, amongst other things, they got the Chinese to not go along with the Soviet-bloc boycott of the Games.

Such crap! This is why I hate NBC's coverage of the Olympics. Even China would be hard-pressed to come up with so much propaganda and garbage!

What does NBC stand for?... National Boosting Crew ? Am avoiding NBC like the plague... CBC in Canada (where I'm watching) is a little better, and their french station has a different perspective than the English channel.

Plus the Canadians have nothing to cheer about (yet) so are not cheerleading like NBC.
