NBC Sports Reporter Bob Costas Gets Political On CNN
The Daily Caller ^ | 09/25/17 | Nick Givas

NBC sports reporter Bob Costas assumed the role of political commentator Monday when he praised Colin Kaepernick and called out President Donald Trump on CNN’s “New Day.”

“It’s very clear that there’s almost no one in the NFL who wants to support or rationalize the tone and content of President Trump’s remarks,” he said. “I hope others follow Kapernick’s lead. Not in some of the naive political statements he’s occasionally made, but getting involved in the community and actually doing things. Which many NFL players already do, but it’s 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 don’t want our players to have to choose. They may feel one way they may feel another, they may be apolitical. So we’ll stay off,” Costas said.

Costas feels guilty because he’s white. So stupid.

Since the whole league has gone Kaepernick there is no point of not signing him, is there?
