I want to understand how this process of McDonaldization is affecting the Olympic games in his traditions and who’s deciding what happens on the competitions in considerations of scheduling times and events broadcasting. Why is it so important for NBC to put the events in prime time for the United States ? And how can the will of “one big company” decide over many others entities that are involved in the Olympics ?
