The problem is with NBC already I think. NBC uses the muscle they have to contribute opinion just like Costas did on gun-control.
The other alphabet networks are not much better but to their credit, I think CBS, ESPN largely stay out of these kinds of frays in the sports broadcasts themselves, you’d never hear John Madden or Pat Summeral state these kinds of opinions. In turn, Fox does sports events but don’t get involved in these kinds of matters either.
What Costas said probably came from the higher-ups at NBC.
Adding on to my prior post, Newsbusters, Bozell seem to assert further, the problem is with “Comcast-owned NBC”
