Former NBC Sports personality Bob Costas said Tuesday on CNN that “outspoken” former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick and NBA star LeBron James were “conspicuously mum” on China’s record of human rights abuse.

The Biden administration announced on Monday that the United States will not send an envoy of diplomats to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing but will allow American athletes to participate in the games.

“Former NBC Sports personality ...”

No risk for him to speak up now. If he was still working for NBC, no way he’d have made that observation. Either way, he deserves credit for saying something, too many just keep their mouths shut.

Too bad, this is a half pregnant policy.

Anyone can say anything anytime when there is no risk. If he had a backbone he would of made these statements while STILL employed by NBC. He is a shallow shill.
