COMCAST MADE YOU BUY PEACOCK PREMIUM TO WATCH USA HOOPS LOSE THE FRANCE!

By Harry Allison

As painful as it was for the USA to lose to France yesterday for its first Olympic basketball defeat since 2004, this was worse.

As the New York Post’S Mike Vaccaro put it:

In its own way, France 83, USA 76 was the modern equivalent to the Mike Tyson-Buster Douglas fight of Feb. 11, 1990, which also took place in Tokyo and which also took place with almost nobody watching back home.

Maybe USA Basketball isn’t Invincible Iron Mike anymore but it’s still stunning when it loses, but no more stunning than NBC keeping it off free TV.

This isn’t team handball, after all (all due respect to team handball).
