NBC’s idiotic golf coverage or where in the world is YE Yang?
Rory McIlroy has a 10-shot lead at the moment in the 2011 U.S. Open. South Korean YE Yang is tied for second. NBC, who is televising this year’s U.S. Open, acts like Yang isn’t even playing in the tournament.
On the 3rd hole we see Yang’s tee shot but nothing else. When he was putting for birdie, NBC showed a short piece on former Open winners.
On the 5th hole, none of Yang’s putts are shown.
The 6th hole after McIlroy tees off, you’d think NBC would show Yang’s tee. Nope, they don’t. Instead we get a fluff piece on McIlroy.
There was an earlier lapse in NBC’s coverage of Yang on either the 1st or 2nd hole but I didn’t take notes.
Hardcore LPGA followers have been noting for a long time the way Korean golfers are covered on television. Or call it lack of coverage. Just a month ago NBC had no problem telling us David Toms had a very poor record at The Players Championship while he dueled KJ Choi. NBC didn’t mention that Choi’s record at the TPC of Sawgrass is even worse.
Yang just made birdie at the 6th hole to pull to nine shots behind. NBC also issued an apology for editing out part of the pledge of allallegiance in a opening segment of today’s broadcasts.

Gee,, thats about as bad as political coverage managing to ignore Ron Paul.. I dont understand how they manage to ignore the lone voice of reason, but they do it all the time,, except when he manages to get the point out in front of the people, then the idiots laugh & pretend its foolishness. & the Dumb Masses are so stupid they accept it, since its coming from the Gods who sit behind desks spreading lies..
Wake up,, We are going DOWN,, support Ron Paul,
