The Independent's Guy Adams had his Twitter account suspended on Sunday after the Los Angeles-based correspondent tweeted the email address of the president of NBC's Olympics coverage. (See updates below).

Adams, along with multiple members of the media and general Olympics enthusiasts, took to Twitter over the weekend to criticize NBC's coverage of the 2012 London games. Viewers first tweeted their frustation that the network did not air the Opening Ceremony live on Friday, instead deciding to broadcast the Parade of Nations during prime time hours. Adams referred to the network as "utter, utter bastards" for its programming decision.

The Independent correspondent continued to criticize the network, tweeting at one point on Friday, "The man responsible for NBC pretending the Olympics haven't started yet is Gary Zenkel. Tell him what u think! Email: Gary.zenkel@nbcuni.com." Zenkel serves as the president of NBC Olympics.
