Summary

The 2022 Winter Olympics begin in Beijing next week. There has been increasing backlash towards China regarding the Uyghur genocide and other alleged crimes against humanity. The games will go on, but are too many people turning their head about this? How will NBC cover this as the rightsholder for televising the games. I talk about comments from former NBC host Bob Costas on this topic and others as well. I also discuss a column by Phil Muchnick of the NY Post titled " TV networks, NFL's hypocrisy damaging to racial equality. It was a very interesting column by Mushnick and I discuss the story at length. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
