Ms. Hackworth seems on target here. Yet in the modern era with every
bogus sport one can imagine included in the olympics it seems there must
be a place for endurance. Certainly couldn't get any LESS COVERAGE by NBC
then the Dressage finals, of which ZERO, NONE, NADA was aired. In Germany
local events fill stadiums, here NBC chose to not even show recaps except
for less then one test by the American Silver medalist. The only hope
endurance would ever find to get NBC's attention would be the top heavy
preponderance of Americans within the sport.
