I'd suggest we keep hitting these guys up with as many letters as
possible. That might convince them Equestrian sports are not a minor
sport!

Your information is incorrect. NBC has not finalized it's television
schedule for the Olympics yet. It will be released in late June.

It has come to my attention that NBC does not plan to make any
widespread coverage (if any at all) of equestrian events during
upcoming Olympic Games. This is an outragous miscarriage of programming
time. The Equestrian is a multi-Billion dollar industry in the
US and easily outsells equestrian goods to that of, say swimming
or any other the other minor sports you will air. In Europe a
world class dressage event is easily as important as any other
sport other then say soccer. The only difference is that in the
U.S. equestrain coverage is just ignored on commercial television.
It would greatly anger millions of Equestrians in America if NBC does
choose to overlook Dressage, Combined training, Show Jumping,
Endurance or Driving. There is already a groundswell effort over
the internet to boycott NBC and make it known to the sponsors of
NBC's Olympic Game Coverage we are boycotting their goods as well.
I certainly hope you pay attention to those of us who demand coverage
and cover Equestrian events as they should be covered. Thank you
for your kind consideration!
