Overall streaming accounted for 28% of all U.S. TV viewing in August, according to Nielsen , compared with 24% for broadcast and 36% for cable. It was the first month of flat streaming performance relative to the month before since Nielsen began releasing its Gauge measurement of viewing patterns in May. The company cited back-to-school season as a headwind for streaming. Children between 6 and 17 years old viewed 7.5% less programming across the board, and that age group skews toward streaming. Overall TV viewing ticked up a half a percentage point compared with July, as the Tokyo Olympics drove a 2.9% increase for broadcast TV. Other standout events on broadcast and cable included the Field of Dreams game played in Iowa and the Hall of Fame game, the annual preseason contest kicking off the year’s NFL action. While Netflix remains the top draw in terms of streaming sources, it was outmatched by a grab-bag “other category.” Nielsen said many adult-oriented niche …

AOC Says Simone Biles Taking Her Olympics Break Was Good on All Fronts
TMZ.com Simone Biles hitting the pause button on the Olympics and coming back when she was good and ready is getting nothing but praise from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ... who says it sets a new standard for professional athletes. AOC broke down what Simone's past week means big picture-wise, when we got her on Capitol Hill Tuesday morning. She said a precedent seems to have been set by Simone -- namely, that athletes don't have to put competing first no matter what. Instead, she says their own well-being is just as important, if not more so ... and ought to be treated that way. Getty That certainly appears to be the case, as the proof is in the pudding with SB -- who came back and competed Monday in the balance beam final ... and medaled with a Bronze. To the congresswoman, that simply makes the case even stronger -- that stepping aside was exactly what Simone needed, and it worked out for everyone, including Team USA, in the end. …

Simone Biles Slams FBI for Completely F–king Up the Larry Nassar Case
Four elite gymnasts have testified before congress about how the FBI mishandled its investigation into abuse allegations against Larry Nassar , the former team doctor for USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University who abused an estimated 300 young athletes under the guise of medical treatment and was sentenced to 100 years in prison in 2018. In July, the Justice Department’s Inspector General released a scathing report on the FBI’s botching of the major child abuse case. The agency had failed to respond to the claims “with the utmost seriousness and urgency that the allegations deserved and required,” the report said. Agents had failed to document meetings with athletes, it found, failed to move forward with the case for more than a year, and then lied to the Inspector General to cover up their errors. Earlier this month, the Senate Judiciary Committee announced it would hold a hearing about what it described as the FBI’s “dereliction of duty” in its handling of the …

WWE Signs Wrestling Champion Gable Steveson To Its First NIL Marketing Deal
Olympic gold medalist and reigning NCAA wrestling champion Gable Steveson has signed an exclusive agreement with the WWE for his name, image and likeness rights, referred to as an NIL deal. The NIL deal is a new rule allowing NCAA athletes to capitalize on their status and personalities without losing college eligibility. Previously, an athlete could not take part in advertising, profit from sales of his merchandise, or engage in paid promotional appearances, or receive other outside benefits without losing college eligibility. Some of the biggest stars of college sports potentially lost millions under such rules. The new NIL rule, which started July 1, has already had a significant impact on collegiate sports, with some high school athletes coming to school earlier, and some seniors staying for an extra year. As of mid-summer, such prominent athletes as Alabama quarterback Bryce Young reportedly had deals in place worth $800,000, with offers pending that would put …
