If you thought the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro were already a pretty large middle finger to the socioeconomic disaster that local residents are embroiled in right now, then the NBC’s latest broadcasting decision is definitely going to make you cringe.
On Tuesday NBC released a statement announcing that Brazilian-born supermodels Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio will be joining their coverage of the Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games. According to the press release, the “ambassadors” will join Ryan Seacrest at the Copacabana Beach studio for NBC’s late night coverage , as well as contribute across various other networks and programs.
