Chicago Sports Anchor Goes All Howard Beale on NBC Over Olympic Footage Restrictions

NBC is very protective of their Olympic footage. And one local sports broadcaster in Chicago is pretty frustrated about it.

Pat Tomasulo, an anchor for WGN, went off on a John Oliver-style rant about NBCs stringent restrictions. And then he read Olympic results juxtaposed over footage from his high school wrestling days.

He even stopped referring to the Olympics at a certain point, calling the Games “The international athletic competition run by one of the most corrupt organizations in the world.”

Thankfully, WGN is not as restrictive with its footage, and so we can show you the whole thing above.
