Will the US media censor the booing of the American Olympic athletes?

[SmileyBoy]

Next Friday, August 14, the opening ceremonies of the 2004 Olympics begin. There's a chance the US athletes will be greeted by loud, raucous boos. Will NBC be censoring this in the United States???

The great thing for me is that I will be on vacation in Canada at that time (Winnipeg, to be exact), and I'll be watching the ceremony on CBC. I think no doubt that CBC won't be censoring any booing of the American athletes, and though a lot of you might not like to hear this, I want to see and hear the actual thing happen live if it does indeed happen. if it doesn't, then that's OK too.

I really think NBC/GE will be blacking out the booing to massage the egos of all the Americans watching at home.

1. You know they will. It will be a very silent Olypics this year.

Either that or the will will use old audio, and just not show the audience.

God, I hate the media whores.

2. I think it would be tacky and I hope..

it doesn't happen. Athletes don't deserve to be booed for the mistakes our politicians have made.

3. I think they should !

The Olympics are not political, any fucking idiot the boos the U.S. Teams, from Europe or any Country for that matter is just plain ignorant, like the freepers we have.

4. Of course

I do not support the booing of American athletes but I also do not support not knowing about it. It's barely been reported that athletes have been asked to hide their USA affiliation unless they are competing.
