Why Did Mike Tirico Leave The Olympics?

As previously stated, Mike’s plan to stay in Beijing has taken a different turn.

Throughout his online hosting throughout the first two days of the Olympics, Mike purposefully used the term “genocide” several times.

In front of the audience, he also blasted Chinese assaults on pro-democracy protestors in Hong Kong, using the term “sports washing” to describe them.
