NBC sports reporter Bob Costas assumed the role of political commentator Monday when he praised Colin Kaepernick and called out President Donald Trump on CNNs New Day.
Its very clear that theres almost no one in the NFL who wants to support or rationalize the tone and content of President Trumps remarks, he said. I hope others follow Kapernicks lead. Not in some of the naive political statements hes occasionally made, but getting involved in the community and actually doing things. Which many NFL players already do, but its just not spotlighted.
Costas said he supported the decision by the Pittsburgh Steelers to stay in the locker room during the national anthem to avoid putting political pressure on their players.
I was okay with it and I think what Mike Tomlin said, the coach of the Steelers made a lot of sense. We dont want our players to have to choose. They may feel one way they may feel another, they may be apolitical. So well stay off, Costas said.

Costas has always been a pinko cretin.
Seriously, Bob. Tell the Olympians you interview every night at your Olympic gig to not respect their flag when it hangs over their world class achievement. Tell them to kneel on that Gold Medal platform, Bobby. If you believe America is that bad. Do it, show you have a set!! Dare ya.
Trump is on the side of our national anthem and flag.
Kaepernick, the NFL, useful idiots like Costas, and the media in general are on hate-America side.
Trump cannot lose.
Begs the questions: Will the NFL players and coaches continue to “protest” during the singing of the anthem and display of the flag and insist it has nothing to do with disrespect of the anthem or flag? And will they do it all season?
I vaguely resembled the guy in the ad.
Yesterday afternoon, I was trying not to breathe in too much dust and rust removing a rusty fender off my old Blazer.
I also got the front bumper off although I had to grind off a few of them. They made good carriage head bolts back in 79.
I looked like I had been in a coal mine but it was better than a stupid ball game.
That’s a very good point. I guess it’s only America that sucks in Bob Costas is mind. Because slavery or racism or something?
These morons are destroying their meal ticket and are too stupid to see it. The arrogance of these people is amazing. The average fan does not give a damn what Costas thinks about anything outside of sports.
Pajama Boy Bob Costas has always had an alt-wrong POV. Nothing new from this pipsqueak.
Is he the father of Lena Dunham, that well-known skank?
well,I guess this azzhat did not learn anything from his leftist anti-gun rant in SNF a couple of years back...
that is when the nfl jumped the shark for me...
this is round two for cussedus
I am sure Costas is sincere but he is committing hari kari. Ratings are tanking due to the national anthem protest (blue state libs don’t watch as much football). After yesterday I expect the ratings slide will continue, which would then put Costas out of a job like all the other highly paid guys at ESPN.
Costas had been enlightening sports fans for way too long. Can’t stand him.
Costas can go sniff a dirty jock strap.
You know he wants to.
True. And now he has permanently jumped th shark.
It's VERY clear that Bob Costas is talking to the wrong people.....
I’ve never understood why Costas is more than a peanut vendor.
He must have slept with something.
I think the Trump/NFL flap serves more than one purpose. It puts NFL in the doghouse where they belong and no-one is paying attention to a few other things he’s doing right now.
I read a story where a black rapper producer thought that blacks were 40% of our population and that LGBT were 25%. I’ve been doing an informal survey and it is amazing that most I have asked get close to those numbers! When I tell them it is 14.4 and less than 5% respectively they are shocked.
Black Lives Matter control the Oscars and now they want the NFL ,MLB etc etc etc
Has anyone posted a list of nfl sponsors?
Like America has been so hard to Costas. Sheeet.
