happyoctopus:argonautic:typette:North Korean and South Korean table tennis players shake hands after South Korea won….wow. And nbc didn’t cover that at all.This is a huge symbolic gesture, and ONCE AGAIN, NBC drops the ball. It’s so incredibly, fucking unfortunate that Olympic coverage in the United States has been sold to a corporation that doesn’t understand symbolism in the slightest. Seriously, NBC, are you trying to become FOX News?These two played together as a team in a exhibition match for peace a few months ago. To me, that’s a bigger deal, but YMMV. I just thought people might want to know. -- source link
