NYT just spoiled women's gymnastics in a news alert. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 10:48 49
- Did they spoil if they finally overcame the extra bouncy floor? - The Dark Spawn Jul 31, 11:18 1
  - *spoils* - Ender Jul 31, 11:20
- So did MSN and Fox Sports and Yahoo -- nm - eag Jul 31, 10:49 44
  - And now that we know all these sources reported it, we can pretty much guess which team won -- nm - con_carne Jul 31, 11:03
  - It's almost like it's news. -- nm - Ender Jul 31, 10:50 40
    - my local news radio station had a whole story about people going to great lengths not to be spoiled. NYT could have kept it out of the subject line - loosilu Jul 31, 10:57 29
      - Maybe one of those great lengths should have been not looking at an e-mail box you get news alerts to... *NM* - Ender Jul 31, 11:00 1
        
        I can avoid social media and news sites. I do'nt get alerts THAT often so it didn't occur to me. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 11:00
      - how is that in any way an obligation of the NYTimes? - znufrii Jul 31, 10:58 26
        
        It's news sure but it's info that could have been prefaced with a subject header warning that the email contained spoilers for an even that - Krusty Jul 31, 11:06 19
        
        Well, the NYT does have an interest in tweaking NBC's nose... -- nm - Ender Jul 31, 11:08
        
        it could have been, sure, but there is absolutely no reason to expect they should, or would. -- nm - znufrii Jul 31, 11:08 16
        
        I expect them to not ruin the outcome of a sports event most people couldn't watch live. - Krusty Jul 31, 11:12 9
        
        that most people couldn't watch it live is no fault of theirs. -- nm - znufrii Jul 31, 11:14 8
        
        *facepalm* -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 11:18
        
        Come on! They know that their readers can't watch and are likely waiting to watch it tonight. - Krusty Jul 31, 11:18 6
        
        It's the Michael Bolton attitude. "Why should I change? NBC's the one who sucks" -- nm - Roger More Jul 31, 11:21
        
        why would they assume that? For all they know, their readers are following their live blog coverage or streaming it online. -- nm - znufrii Jul 31, 11:21 2
        
        Right. Their audience is at work. - Krusty Jul 31, 11:25
        
        and the ones who AREN"T doing that don't need an alert! -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 11:21
        
        even our news radio is giving spoiler warnings! -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 11:19 1
        
        Yup. I listen to 880 CBS and they warn us before giving out scores/results. - Krusty Jul 31, 11:21
        
        I expect them to be considerate of their readers. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 11:09 5
        
        correct. and their presumption must be that their readers want to be informed of the news, otherwise, why would they be reading? -- nm - znufrii Jul 31, 11:10 4
        
        If I wanted to see the news, I would go to their site. I do not want them sending me a - loosilu Jul 31, 11:19 1
        
        then don't sign up for email updates. -- nm - znufrii Jul 31, 11:21
        
        "Spoilers" in the subject line. I can not imagine this is hard to do! -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 31, 11:12 1
        
        Seriously!?! Are they new to tape delay in sports? -- nm - Krusty Jul 31, 11:16
        
        *event* not even -- nm - Krusty Jul 31, 11:07
        
        and if you don't want potential spoilers from their email updates, unsubscribe. -- nm - znufrii Jul 31, 11:00 4
        
        You are proving loosi's point though. One would think sending emails that encourage people to unsubscribe is not in NYT's best interest. -- nm - con_carne Jul 31, 11:02 2
        
        It's not encouraging them to unsubscribe. It's encouraging them to get the news first. (Also re b2) - Roger More Jul 31, 11:06
        
        correct. they send spoilers all the time for prime time events. that's totally not a problem. this one just annoyed me. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 11:05
        
        this is the first one they've sent this olympics. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 11:01
        
        yeah, i agree. -- nm - Andie Jul 31, 10:59
    - I could understand if it was a live sports event. - ty97 Jul 31, 10:52
    - Yup. -- nm - mara Jul 31, 10:51 2
      - Clearly NBC should have rotated the Earth 1/3 of the way around so this would be primetime. -- nm - Ender Jul 31, 10:53 1
        
        Don't make us ban you. -- nm - Twitter Jul 31, 11:05
    - this is america, it's not real until we see it on tv. -- nm - znufrii Jul 31, 10:51 5
      - do you guys not get it live on any channel at all? (other than online) -- nm - Andie Jul 31, 10:53 4
        
        The only TV airing will be in primetime -- nm - ty97 Jul 31, 10:57
        
        Across 8 channels we get over 90 hours of coverage a day, but I'm not sure if the stuff saved for primetime is on TV live. -- nm - Ender Jul 31, 10:54 1
        
        ah. -- nm - Andie Jul 31, 10:55
        
        no idea. I don't care enough to try and watch it. -- nm - znufrii Jul 31, 10:54

Groiny - if they are in their 20's - watch Big Bang Theory -- nm - JenBro Jul 31, 10:47 1

so, i just finally read about that whole ridiculous clock controversy in fencing. she got screwed, totally unfair. -- nm - Andie Jul 31, 10:45 4
- Yes, absolutely screwed, there is no question. - Stephen Jul 31, 10:53
- for anyone else as behind as me - here's the story. -- (link) - Andie Jul 31, 10:46 2
  - wow - that totally blows -- nm - JenBro Jul 31, 10:49
  - yeah, that's messed up. -- nm - znufrii Jul 31, 10:48
