My letter to NBC

I just sent my two cents to NBC:

Dear NBC,

Your coverage of Nodar Kumaritashvili's death was shameful. I agree that the story of his tragic accident was newsworthy, and I appreciated the tributes that were paid to him throughout the Opening Ceremonies. However, there was absolutely no need to show the actual impact, or his bloodied face. Your coverage was cheap and grotesque. Please do not rebroadcast the footage of Mr. Kumaritashvili's tragic death. Let the Olympics be a celebration of human spirit, even if that celebration is sometimes somber.
