Honestly, and I can't speak for all Americans, but we really don't care about the Olympics.

No. it's about them repeating the same crap again..... And unlike some responses here might indicate, they've got heavily under fire last time with the Summer Olympics.
For this time, it appears, that it already starts again. NBC seems to be ignorant

And regarding the claim on page 1 about live streaming on NBC.

NBC was advertising it to be on at 11am EST, was it not on?

They also pay to broadcast it and rights to the Olympics are not cheap. Prime time placement brings out the big corporations ad revenue, unlike the 2am exercise video sales.
After I've read the information, how they will not stream, I chose to watch the German ZDF stream. Which I prefer anyway, since they give more information about the various teams and their top athletes... The lineup of the participating nations isn't that boring then. Which it can be, when you see a few thousand people just walk around in a circle.

Okay, from first hand experience..
Does it surprise you, when I tell you how the commentators from Germany's ZDF praised the organization overall, and they've also reported how the athletes are pleased with the conditions of the event locations. They've mentioned "there are smaller problems here and there, but they seem to be fixable".
Gotta give the Russians kudos for stumping out the entire thing in basically less than 7 years, where others had often well over 10 years to prepare themselves.

'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
