To NBC Sports:

We, the undersigned, would like to see you cover Paralympic events along with the Olympic events. These athletes work just as hard and deserve the chance to show their skills and achievements to the world. The performances of Paralympians are just as exciting and most times are more inspirational and motivating than their Olympian counterparts.

Forum Discussion for 2008 Paralympics Coverage

My neice, Misty Thomas, will be playing in the paralympics, womens basketball. She is a record holder for UNLV, Canadian Nationals, and a prevous Olympian. I would give a lot to be able to watch the paralympic games. There is news coverage for everything under the son, but not for the paralympics. Shame on you.

I want tv coverage and i don't even know a paralympian or a physically handicapped person. I enjoy the spirit these people display. A&E did a great job with the last winter paralymics and I want NBC to do it for the summer games! --Janelle

I would love to see something different as far as olympics coverage here in the states.

In Australia the Paralympians get poor tv coverage also. Although me signing your petition will not affect me personally, I'm still happy to sign as they should get just as much coverage as the other olympians. Let's face it, their obstacles have been much greater to get to where they are now.

i personally watch the paralympics online, and i personally care about the paralympics more than i do the regular olympics, its just too traditional! the paralympics shows that by doing things differently things can be much much cooler!!!
