As made evident via informationdisclosed to The Verge following an information request to the Federal Communications Commission, several Olympics viewers found the proceedings indecent.
"It's tough to enjoy a program as a family without being uncomfortable," one viewer in Attleboro, Mass., wrote. "I thought the Olympic try outs last night would provide us the opportunity as a family to enjoy something together. The track and field events are nothing short of minor pornography and should be rated R to NC17 clothing that is to tight exposing male genitals is NOT what I had in mind when sitting with my family last night. Something needs to be done. Less Camera time and Slow Motion Of These Runners flip Flopping their way accross [sic] the finish line."
Though critical of the broadcast, this viewer was constructive, as well, providing new ideas for how this problem could be solved.
"These athletes should be required to wear an ahleletic [sic] supporter or precautions should be put in place by the broadcasting network to create a more comfortable family friendly program," the viewer wrote.
