They take down anything related to FIFA, the IOC, or just about anyone with the time to write them a letter. Chris, you have to give up on youtube.

We only had two TV channels. Why the hell, in 2008, can we not watch whatever event we want? What an utter failure of the amrket system. I hardly saw any field events. Good highlights programs were missing. And I was amazed that there didn't seem to be any illegal web feeds around (unless you can speak chinese). As for Mitcham's dive - it took me ages to finally see it. It appears on Youtube from time to time and then disappears - presumably illegal.

But I'll feel it even more when we do indeed start seeing more aboriginal bankers, doctors, lawyers etc..

I suppose Nico's onto something in a way... like, if I went to meet with my bank manager and he or she was aboriginal, I don't think I could stop myself thinking "gee, that's great!". I suppose it's a sort of patronising, but it's not a sort I'd be too worried about. Pretty sure you are Nico. ;)

I'm torn between been pleased that athletes (if only a few) feel free to come out, and worrying the coverage is patronising. Maybe I'm over-analysing. How modern – perhaps a little condescending?

It was humourous watching how the different channels tried to cover (or not to cover) his boyfriend. It's also funny that Stephanie Rice has a boyfriend, but he has a partner. I agree.
