I was looking up the CBC schedule via google and stumbled across this little beauty... It turns out Americans aren't so ignorant and actually respect us Canucks!!!

Thank you for addressing the lackluster American coverage of the Olympics, a trend towards mediocrity that has been going on for years. Most people I talk too discovered several Olympics ago that if we want decent coverage of diverse sports, countries, and athletes, we should tune into Canadian coverage. American coverage focuses on too few sports, panders with maudlin "Golden Moments" designed to tug at our heart strings, and usually wraps with ludicrous interviews positing that athletes should be disappointed with anything less than a gold medal. Our neighbors to the north are worth emulating - most of us tune in to the Olympics to watch sports, not soap operas, and to celebrate the diversity of competition we don't usually get the chance to see in the States.
