I bet it doesn’t bother him one bit that his bodyguard carries.... It’s OK for him, but not for us.

Wish someone in the Sports Media would mention that if gays would stop using their “guns” inappropriately, a lot of them would still be alive and those alive would live longer.

Costas said blacks shouldn’t be allowed to have guns.

NBC agrees.

I think the NBC upper management realized what a HUGE mistake it was for Costas to make such remarks--remarks that caused viewers to complain to NBC's advertisers, which in turn complained to NBC.

Costas and NBC are in damage control mode. All hands to the pumps.

Keep the pressure on. No mercy. Ridicule, comment, Twitter, Facebook ... until he’s GONE.

This was no mistake.

It was not a spur of the moment, unrehearsed rant either.

Watch the video—he’s reading something, as in a prepared cue card.

And then voila, the next day, it is THE talk of the day, on every network.Everywhere. Some idiot sport commentator’s “rant” on guns. Riiiiight.

Can you say “planned faux media event”? I knew you could.
