I am asking for your assistance in grabbing as many signatures as we can to get NBC or another station to cover the United States Paralympics in Russia, RIO, and beyond! After the Olympics end, the Paralympics begin and no one in the US is the wiser.
Media (television stations) ignore the fact that these amazing athletes are out there competing and representing the United States. Please help me in getting these signatures.
Please pass this link along as well...
4000+ athletes! 3.8 billion viewers OUTSIDE of the US...
I am just a normal guy letting everyone know how fair the USA Media is against Paralympic Athletes.

NBC continues to treat our Paralympic athletes like they do not even exist. I am sick of their complete refusal to highlight world class talent while the rest of the planet celebrates these competitors on national television. We are going to keep flooding their executives with these signatures until they admit that they are failing their viewers.

These athletes work just as hard as the olympic team. give them the air time they earned!
TOTAL DISRESPECT to our athletes. NBC needs to do better.
Why are we always so far behind the rest of the world on this. show the games.
Ridiculous that I have to stay up all night to watch these sports. Put them on when people are actually awake.
stop hiding the coverage on cable channels nobody watches. prime time or nothing.
Do what it takes to make this happen.
They must be saluted and their competitiveness AIRED!!!

NBC is covering the paralympics events just on NBC SN from 1am to 6am nightly - very few of the events are shown in prime time - it is a tremendous loss to the event and the potential advertising dollars that are being missed here. like the olympics this should be shown on prime time non-cable television so that the entire american population can become aware of the paralympians. NBC smartnen up! give the paralympians the same respect, coverage and air time you give the non-disabled olympians
