Rusty on how Olympic coverage led to a spike in air rifle sales:
Just imagine how it would be if our media portrayed shooting as a sport, instead of a sin.

Just as an experiment, go here:

select your local broadcast station, and see what the coverage for the shooting sports is. Mine (NBC4, DC area) had all the listings between midnight and 3 am.
Great time slot for such a popular sport
”…participation in shooting sports tops tennis, softball, jet skiing, water skiing, mountain biking, most team sports and virtually all of the technical sports like rock climbing and kayaking, …”

I’ve decided to start spreading the meme that we should call these the “Bent-Ring Olympics” in honor of all of the bent and broken rules / ethics of the host nation.
If I’m reading it right the NBC station here in KC has the shooting stuff on between 9:00AM and 3:00PM. But the shooting sports are a bit more popular in this part of the country.
