NEW YORK -- The non-stop nature of soccer helped and hindered NBCs Arlo White and Kate Markgraf in their coverage of the U.S. womens team, which lost to Sweden on penalty kicks and was bounced from the Olympics.The USA are distraught, White said, describing the aftermath of Lisa Dahlkvists deciding penalty.He expertly built the tension throughout the broadcast and reflected the significance of the three-time defending Olympic champions and defending World Cup winners heading home without a medal. White and Markgraf even caught a bit of soccer gamesmanship before the last penalty kick, when U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo changed gloves to make Dahlkvist wait a little while and think about her shot.There were two huge moments right before the penalty kicks when the Americans and then the Swedes had goals disallowed by the referee on what appeared to be questionable offside calls.Asked to take a stand on Lotta Schelins disallowed goal for Sweden, Markgraf hedged. The refs call appeared wrong, she said, but I do need to take another look at the play.She never got that chance. The soccer clock keeps ticking. When the extra time period ended shortly thereafter, NBC switched to a round of commercials and the controversial calls were not re-examined. Contrast that to an American football game, when theres enough downtime after a close call to see about a dozen replays.RATINGS: NBCs Thursday prime time, which featured gold-medal performances from American gymnast Simone Biles, swimmer Simone Manuel and, of course, Michael Phelps, reached 31.2 million, the Nielsen company said. That was the second highest viewership of the Rio de Janeiro Games so far, and ticked up to 33 million when online streaming and NBCSNs prime-time telecast are added in. NBC still hasnt topped its record-setting London Games from 2012, however, which had 36.8 million for the corresponding night.---Follow David Bauder at twitter.com/dbauder.

How in the world can only football parties be guilty in events depicted like this? It is irresponsible to this town, this community and everybody to have some kind of a double standard where we only focus on one demographic, one group of people, and then drag their name through the newspaper with a bunch of irresponsible comments.Were going to let the legal system take its course, Leach added. But the system has to be checked if with the number of people involved in these incidents, the only ones accused are football players. If thats the case, then something is seriously wrong, which goes far deeper than whatever has even been alleged.?And whatever has been alleged is only fractionally accurate.Leachs statement comes on the heels of Mondays arrest of linebacker Logan Tago on suspicion of robbery and assault in an incident that occurred in June. Its the third incident in as many months involving football players accused of assault.Safety Shalom Luani was arrested last month amid accusations of breaking a mans nose during a dispute outside a pizza restaurant in Pullman, Washington. On Tuesday, the Pullman Police Department recommended that Luani, an honorable mention All-Pac-12 player in 2015, be charged with second-degree assault. Police Commander Chris Tennant told The Spokesman-Review on Monday that the 22-year-old Luani became verbally abusive when his order took too long and then he struck the victim.A third investigation that allegedly included multiple football players involved in a fight at a house party in July is ongoing.We are well aware of recent incidents involving Washington State football, including many details associated with each incident that have not been reported, Washington State director of athletics Bill Moos said in a statement. We take such allegations very seriously and, as always, we will fully cooperate with local authorities. We intend to respect the legal process and all the rights guaranteed to everyone involved. Until the full legal process has reached completion, WSU Athletics will have no further comment on these matters. We believe such a position is most fair to alll parties and best protects the integrity of the legal process.ddddddddddddLeach addressed all three incidents in turn when speaking to reporters on Tuesday:First incident. A brawl at a party, the whole room is involved. The room erupts in a brawl. Everybodys hitting everybody. The only guys accused of doing anything are football players. The only guys accused of anything are football players. Wheres everybody else? What about the other 100 people in the room? What was their role?Second incident [involving Luani]. A football player is jumped and his shirt is ripped off. Jumped by five to six people and his shirt is ripped off, as hes leaving a place. As hes leaving a place. The only guy arrested is the football player. Only guy arrested. Unless he somehow single-handedly started a fight with six people.Third incident [involving Tago]. I dont know what happened. I dont know any of the details. It happened four months ago. Why didnt this surface four months ago?Unless we are supposed to believe that these football players fought themselves, then there are numerous other guilty parties. ... Comments to the media have distorted the facts and already condemned football players in the court of public opinion. Many of the statements are incomplete or totally false.On Wednesday, Pullman police Chief Gary Jenkins told The Spokesman-Review he doesnt take Leachs comments personally, but is sensitive that my staff might.I just want to make it clear that my staff hasnt done anything wrong in any way, Jenkins said. But I completely understand where Coach Leach is coming from.Jenkins went on to address Leachs issues.In regards to the house party brawl, Jenkins said that preliminary investigation found two football players were responsible for the injuries, but would agree with Coach Leach that there are other actions going on that are mitigating.Jenkins said video shows Luani violently pushed the victims head into a wall, and that if Luani was struck outside the establishment, it could be seen as a fight he initiated, but others were also involved in the incident.As to why Leach was not informed of Tagos incident until four months later, Jenkins said,?Its very possible that the information was not passed along to him, but his department always informs the schools athletic department when a player is under investigation.Washington State opened the year with back-to-back losses -- both by three points -- to Eastern Washington and Boise State.
