The only thing that isn’t comparable to the Temporary-Abled (love that!) Olympics is that they did a “Primetime in Paris” special every night for three hours that covered a lot of the top events from the day. I was hoping for something similar with the Para Olympics. And I secretly hoped Snoop Dogg would return to Paris for these games. He could have brought some new audiences to the world of para sports, methinks.

I “stole” Temporarily Able Bodied (TAB). I think it is from the MS community, but I could be wrong about that.

Yeah, I miss the nightly recaps, too. My guess is that they didn’t want to spend a lot of money on production values.

Yeah, I was surprised that I kind of appreciated Snoop’s commentary. If he were there now, I would be afraid it would be one long “they’re so brave and inspirational jag.” Just say no to inspiration porn! 😉

A lot of the Para interviews on Peacock have already been inspiration porn without Snoop. I liked when he would hang with the families. I think he could have legit raised awareness while still keeping his signature cool.
