Yes, this is one of the 2012 Olympic mascots.
Have you got it? Olympic fever is here. I love the summer Olympics and am amazed that we humans continue to break records. It motivates me to press on with my goals. How about you?
If you’ve got cable or access to NBC, then you’re able to watch the highlights live streaming or at night. If you don’t have cable or even a TV, then you’re up a creek.
I’m keeping up by reading articles and old YouTube videos. nbcolympicscom also gives a few old videos, but you need a cable provider that has CNBC and MSNBC to access their streaming or archived items. I don’t.
#NBCFAIL
If you’ve follow twitter, you’ll see this hashtag daily. It’s from people like me who feel lied to. We were told NBC would have live streaming…who knew I had to have a cable subscription to watch?
I don’t have cable or a TV and I’m not alone as millions have cut their cable in recent years. This feels like a middle finger from the Big Networks for cutting cable and using alternatives such as Hulu and Netflicks.
I hope @google or @appstore will sponsor the 2016 Brazil Olympics so we can actually watch them #nbcfail

There are alternative ways to watch the Olympics by setting up a VPN and stream from the BBC in UK. This does cost money and a bit of technical nohow. Both of which I’m lacking.
