   Nothing but niggers and queers presenting the Olympics from NBC   
   "PEECOCK".   
      
   Ahead of the Olympics, NBC heralded its streaming app Peacock as a   
   new outlet for sports coverage where users could watch live events   
   and commentary for free. But kind of like actual peacocks in   
   Southern California, the app has been an annoying mess. Not only   
   does it fail to live up to its promise, but lots of people are also   
   confused when they’re supposed to try to tune in on Peacock as   
   opposed to NBC’s other myriad platforms.   
      
   NBC first planned to roll out Peacock to coincide with the original   
   dates of the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. When the Games were postponed   
   because of COVID-19, NBCUniversal did a soft launch in April 2020,   
   before expanding the platform to all users a few months later. The   
   service offers both a free, ad-supported version and paid   
   subscription tiers that give access to more content. (Xfinity   
   Internet users and those who already have cable can access the   
   middle tier of Peacock with expanded viewing choices for free.)   
      
   Now that the Olympics have rolled around, NBC is back to touting   
   Peacock. In particular, it has used both advertising and social   
   media to emphasize the idea that you can watch some events live on   
   the app.   
      
   But saying you can use Peacock to watch live Olympics coverage is a   
   bit of a stretch, even setting aside the time zone challenges.   
   Peacock itself is a bit confusing. There’s a website as well as a   
   smart TV app, and both offer a combination of on-demand content   
   (where you can select which events/shows you want to watch) and live   
   channels. Think Netflix for NBC, mixed with some actually live   
   content.   
      
   However, most of the Peacock coverage for Tokyo is pre-recorded   
   episodes of replays and highlights with commentary from Snoop Dogg   
   and a live (at least the first time) daily highlights show from the   
   NFL Network’s Rich Eisen. Eisen’s Tokyo Gold recap show takes up   
   eight hours of daily coverage, with seven of those hours being   
   replays of the first one.   
      
   Also included in the Peacock on-demand offerings is Snoop Dogg and   
   Kevin Hart’s comical take on Olympics coverage, which includes   
   highbrow insights like Snoop’s suggestion to American jumper Will   
   Claye to “wear some smaller shoes … put on some size 6s” to avoid   
   false starts in competition.

   NBC, take your black Bob Costas and shove him up your ass.  We've   
   had enough of that nigger Mike Tirico.
