Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers spokesman Jim Kennedy compared the Writers Guild of America strike to an Olympics Boycott on CBS News Sunday Morning. Kennedy told CBS News’ Jerry Bowen, ”It’s like an Olympics boycott where the athletes get hurt and the audiences get hurt but it doesn’t reach a resolution to the underlying conflict.”

The WGA strike enters its eleventh week today.
