Double standard for Matt Mitcham?
I was following Matthew Mitcham and saw his dramatic win in the 10 meter platform. I just ran across this article. Could it be that NBC had a double standard for Matt? I don't mind that no mention was made of his sexual orientation. I do mind that I didn't see his family and partner in the stands. I realize that they can't cover everything but certainly his performance warranted at least one shot of his family and partner.
Here is part of the article.
UPDATE: NBC did not mention Mitcham's orientation, nor did they show his family and partner who were in the stands. NBC has made athletes' significant others a part of the coverage in the past, choosing to spotlight track athlete Sanya Richards' fiancee, a love triangle between French and Italian swimmers and Kerri Walsh's wedding ring debacle.
