    Some ratings, but barely. And very little coverage due to low ratings. The US television market is very fickle and the media is very biased and limited when it comes to "sports" - be it mental or physical.

    I hate Nazis, their stench is the stench of tonnes of manure, and they are evil like Bill Gates on crack. I like to shoot Nazis with guns and beat them with baseball bats. All Nazis, I am going to kill you with guns and bats because you are evil and I hate you. Nazis are Communists and child molestors and racists. Nazis please stop being Communists and child molestors and racists, because everyone hates you because that's what you do. I want you all to die, and be advised that when you die, all Nazis will burn eternally in the fiery inferno of hell for rejecting the teachings of Jesus Christ, just like all the other Communists and child molestors and racists will also burn!! NAZIS GO TO HECK, YOU STINKS!!!

    dwarf tossing will never become an olympic sport - too rude. Plus dwarves have short tempers, I dont think they'd stand for it.

    The US ought to declare the olympics an illegal sports cartel and ban advertisers from doing business with them. See how long the olympics lasts without the US dollar.
