Costas' own network is being sued for shoddy journalism involving Zimmerman's case. That didn't prevent the sportscaster from...

(SNIP) Posing like a hip hop mogul when the holes in your pants are real is ultimately self-defeating. But leave the subject of self-destructive pretense for another time, let’s talk hoodies. His hoodie killed Trayvon Martin as surely as George Zimmerman did. Remember when my friend and colleague the estimable Juan Williams got fired from NPR for saying that Muslims formally garbed freaked him out at airports? Juan is among America's sharpest commentators. He wasn't justifying his reaction, he was copping to it. Maybe shock therapy or a semester of sensitivity training could change it, otherwise It is what it...
