NBC must really hate Ben Blankenship

I bet if it was Manzano in that other heat they would have showed it. They just want to keep the white man down.

They're just jealous of his epic beard and flowing locks.

Last night I got Bob Costas talking about Ryan Lochte at a gas station while the women were going 123 in the hurdles. You gotta stream the events live online or NBC might blow it.

Or they just don't want to support our Vietnam vets like Ben.

Are you kidding me? They didn't show the 3rd biggest running star of these games? Kiprop was in heat #1 and tore it up.

Not surprising. They short changed Evan Jager too.

And, he ran well. He made that surge after 400m and then last 250 a few runners passed him and then twice it looked like other runners were gonna blow by him, but he accelerated both times, not allowing more runners to pass him and maintaining an auto qualification place.

Them and me both!

Why can't both be shown? Just small live feed in the corner of the TV.

Total BS they didn't show it. He ran like a stud too. Plus with the past 2 olympic champs in that heat you think they would. Ridiculous.

In the time they spent covering the swimming bathroom story, they could have shown it twice.

I've been so caught up in the Robby Andrews DQ that I have failed to give props to Ben Blankenship who ran an excellent tactical race to advance to the finals.

He stays in the front and doesn't play chicken in the qualifying rounds. He looked like he had done this before. Great race for Ben.

They're embarrassed that we sent a real live hobo to represent us.

NBC was embarrassed that he admitted to brewing his own kombucha... Can't give that dirty hippy any airtime.

You mean someone no one knows. Why waste the time?

Nobody knows who Ajee Wilson is, but they showed her race and she didn't even make the final.

Nobody knows who Kate Grace is, but they showed her race too - with extra time for a personal interest piece about her mom's aerobics videos.

Blankets ran like a champ and I love his Mascis attitude. Go Blankenship!!! Guy makes these pretty boys with their shaved legs and chests look like the true nancies they are.

Fvck an NBC!

Maybe next time Benny wont hop the fence to avoid the media. Wilson and Grace are hot. Ben is a disgusting looking person
