NBC: We did not fire Opening Ceremony analyst who offended Koreans
-
Asia expert Joshua Cooper Ramo was only hired to analyze the Opening Ceremony, so his job with the PyeongChang Games is over, NBC said in disputing widespread reports that he was fired. NBC had to apologize for Ramo for saying, "every Korean will tell you that Japan is a cultural, technological and economic example that has been so important to their own transformation." ALSO: Sunday's ratings were below the first Sunday of the past two Winter Olympics.
