How many years has Costas been a sports commentator? Why didn’t he say anything sooner about this outrage?

Somewhere between his cosmetic surgeries, hair dye, botox and toupee, Bob Costas decided to become an Indian sympathizer.

The assclown is doing what his bossman told him to do. Just another sock puppet leftist.

NBC makes me sick that they have to push their socialist agenda during half-time.

This really doesn't have anything to do with NBC. It's about Bob Costas. He would be spewing this no matter where he was.

This was posted by someone earlier in the week and I thought it hit the nail on the head.

The Washington Redskins will officially change their name!

The team spokesman said in a press release that they decided it was time to no longer be associated with something that represents so much oppression, hatred and cruelty.

From now on they will be known as the “Redskins”.

Funny how, in the last 30 years, this sawed-off little punk has never said a damn thing about this.

Screw you, punk and I couldn't care less about the Redskins. I'm a Bear fan.

Bob Costas is the most pretentious, pompous commentator on TV. I have him on Auto-Mute.

Of course it’s not an insult to actual American Indians. But pointing their boney fingers and screeching “racism” is an important source of attention for liberals. It’s a type of slander that is easy to fabricate and creates a false moral high ground from which they can look down on others. The self-perception of how “good” they are is inversely proportional to how they can paint others.

These people who worry about the Redskins as a sports team name have not thought about the matter much or are extremely stupid or both.

Would any football team name themselves after something they believed to be weak, inferior or derogatory? Indians are used as names because American Indians have a history of being strong warriors. It is a complement to Indians to name a football team after them. I say that as one who is 16% Cherokee and proud of it.

Washington doesn’t deserve the name “Redskins”. It is too good for them. Call them the Washington IOUs or something.

I agree they should change the name.

“Washington” is offensive to conservatives.

I recently received an email that said that too many people were offended by the name, “Washington Redskins”. Therefore, the Redskins owner has decided to change the name from the “Washington Redskins” to simply, “Redskins”. ;-)

So...according to libs....Vikings, Buccaneers, Saints, 49ers, Chiefs, Steelers, are bad, too? Or just names that do not infer white folks?

I suppose that next KC will have to rename themselves the “Chief Chefs” or something similar.

Bob Costas is deeply in love with the sound of his own voice...
