Just like a little girl dropping a toad, American viewers recoiled from NBC coverage. Bob Costas has about as much life in his tone of voice as a piss-toad. He gives a strong impression that he looks down on these strange un-American sports. He tries to present a fake homie vibe, but his little cynical, "real dude" asides constantly betray his uneasiness at being the master of ceremonies. When he comments on the athletes, especially the figure skaters, even when he is just leading-in to the other announcers, he often gives the smirk and jab that subtly assures the average Jill and Joe that he also does not like this strange, prissy, worldly shit called 'Olympic sports.'
The TV ratings in America were way down for the Olympics because the average American has grown tired of the same dull faces and the same dull voices covering the Olympics. Bob Costas being the dullest face and voice of all, he has got to go.
