• As three-time world cham-
pion Simone Biles performed on
the uneven bars, NBC commen-
tator Jim Watson said: “I think
she might even go higher than
some of the men.” And as the
team chatted during preliminar-
ies, he said they “might as well be
standing around at a mall.”
Each comment is pounced
upon as a dig against women,
that they aren’t as athletic —
important? — as men, but that
tone was set long before the
games even opened. When NBC
executive John Miller discussed
tape-delayed broadcasts for the
U.S. audience back in July, he
argued that the core female audi-
ence isn’t invested in the results.
“The people who watch the
Olympics are not particularly
sports fans,” Miller said last
month. “More women watch the
games than men, and for the
women, they’re less interested in
the result and more interested in
the journey. It’s sort of like the
ultimate reality show and mini-
series wrapped into one.”
NBC executives said on a
Thursday conference call that
55 percent of its 18-and-over
viewers for the Rio Olympics are
women. Mark Lazarus, chair-
man of NBC Sports Group, was
aware of the criticism concern-
ing sexism in its coverage and
said gymnastics announcer Al
Trautwig had addressed com-
ments he made regarding Biles’
adoption.
“Of course we’re sensitive
