Is anyone else upset over ABC's failure to provide all-around coverage of
Olympic events?  I enjoy the gymnastics as much as the next person but
not to the exclusion of other deserving events.   I'm trying to follow
the men's and women's volleyball competition and am continually enraged
by ABC's shoddy coverage.  It has almost become a nightly ritual to call
L.A. and flame at ABC's programming department (213-557-4103).  Their
last response was that they only wanted to cover the "butch" (sic) events.
I'm certain volleyball is not alone in suffering bad coverage or lack
of coverage.
