Bob Costas say "gun Control lecture was a mistake"

[Liberty1911]

Costas keeps saying on O'Reiley that he isn't against the 2A but he's against the "gun culture" that has developed. I'm scratching my head. Not against legal gun ownership just the "gun culture". You know... I'm hesitent to say it but I'll say it. I believe Bob Costas is a racist. Because what I think he's refering to in "gun culture" is "those blacks".

I don't think he'll ever admit it. And I don't think he'll ever say that 2A is a Civil Right. I'm really stunned after seeing his interview. Because that's what I'm left with.

I watched the interview. What I took away from it is that Costas is scared of the gangsta/gun culture that permeates the NFL. Clearly that was code for his belief that blacks shouldn't own guns because it frightens him. I'm pretty sure that makes him a racist by NBC standards.

The best comment I've seen about this (not mine) is that this is like saying he isn't against oxygen, he just has a problem with people breathing.

Liberals can't be racists, silly...

I'm a big fan of Sports Illustrateds Peter King who writes a weekly MMQB for their website and a Tuesday Edition follow up. In the Monday Morning QB he sided with Costas and I emailed him to argue my point which he published (after cutting by more than 2/3rds) in the Tuesday edition.

I don't like the idea of someone who thinks he knows what is best for me using his celebrity as a bully pulpit to disseminate false information. Never was a Costas fan, even less so now.

he never completely apologized and said he was wrong. he just said that he spoke too soon. link with video of the radio interview.

Costas needs to learn to be a man rather than a metrosexual who sucks up the feminist beliefs about guns.

Somehow, I don't feel a need to justify my "need" to own a semi-auto weapon to Bob. Keep diggin Bob, keep diggin.

The main thing I took from his "apology" was that he over estimated the intelligence of the people he was talking to. In other words he made that old eletist mistake of thinking we were as smart as he is!!!

 

[Expat]

He found out that the average foot ball fan also likes guns. His problem is he is more cut out to announce for the ballet. He would be more in tune politically with their fans.

Just ask Nichole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, stricter gun laws work!

 

[beararms1776]

Doesn't bother me what he thinks. I would accept his mistake and/ or apology of judgment. He (as an adult) simply doesn't realize that with that mindset (along with thousands I'm sure), it's like they're in agreement the action of the person would have been acceptable if it wasn't for that firearm. That mindset is uhh............ a little off and eery IMO.
Maybe he will have him a cold one and rethink his position in the future.
Here's to ya Bob!

Are you ready for some "Touch" Footbaaaaaaaaaall

I bet Costas realizes he made a mistake with all the funny Facebook memes out about this.

Something I've noticed and haven't seen pointed out ...
If Kasandra Perkins or her Mother ... (since she witness her daughter's death, IIRC) ...
would have been properly trained and prepared

Perhaps ... not for certain ... but perhaps - think of how this should have gone.
Girlfriend (or MOM) saves Self (or her daughter) from enraged NFL thug.
... or something like that.

and then it becomes about women protecting themselves. ...
instead of some knucklehead killing unprepared defenseless sheep.
still sad ... but ???
