Three Cheers for Bob Costas - He is outraged and intends to honor the murdered Israeli athletes with his own on-air moment of silence. That would be worth watching right there, I think. As for the abominable Palestinian threat to the IOC, boos should go out for them when they walk by. They’re the racists, and proud of it!
Frankly, since “they” are not even a nation, and no nation has accepted them into the fold, “they” should not be anywhere near the Olympics and the committee should have responded accordingly.
Based on the original travesty committed on the people of the world through the Olympics, and the murdered Israeli’s, “they” should have been denied “forever” on that basis alone, much less the fact that “they” are not a nation.
Same with access to the UN. The New York based Stink Farm.
Really? He's going to do that? Wow!
I have the idea that Costas is a liberal, but of course there are still a few liberals who support Israel (which they all used to do). However I may differ with his political philosophy, Bob Costas' stock just went up in my book. But then, back in the day even old time liberal Howard K. Smith was appalled when the IOC forced the Republic of China Olympic team to not use their name and flag in the games.
I always preferred ABC's Olympic coverage, but the late ABC "newsman" Peter Jennings (who was notoriously pro-PLO) never, to the end of his days, referred to the murderers as "terrorists" but only as "guerrillas." Despicable.
Bob Costos is a man of courage and honor.
He is in a position at a time in his life and will do the right thing..though he “doesn’t have to.” Great guy for doing this!
