Costas is a Moron! (Here's what he should have done)

Bob Costas is a moron.

 He hijacked Football to use it for his own political ends, whilst simultaneously insulting millions of Americans and ignoring the culture of violence that encapsulates one of America's Most Violent Sports. The NFL lets players bash each other's brains in and then leaves them to rot in the ruins of their destroyed psyches. Ever see the suicide states for former NFL players?
 
I would have had far more respect for Costas if he advocated against domestic violence or the culture of violence in America. Instead he took a cheap shot.
 
I still don't believe he should have used Halftime for politics, but if he absolutely had to, then here's what he should have addressed:
 1. Crushing Poverty
2. Racial/Gender/Ethnic Inequality
3. Mental Illness
4. The War on Drugs

Choosing to ignore all the lefty spin, and clap-trap, I'm going to agree with his point that Costas is a moron, and that he should NOT have used hafltime of SNF to spew his bile.

5. You may be 100% correct about Costas, but, Sometimes, it takes a moron to move things Forward

Politics is life. Life is Politics
Football is life. Life is a football game (or is it baseball)

and football is our national pasttime

I think the repubs took Janet's wardobe malfunction and used that singular event to get rid of Dan Rather later on.
 
Plus ESPN hired Rush Limbaugh (though quickly fired him when he couldn't control his racism).
 
Plus Hank Jr. one of the most rightwing of rightwingers, sang the theme for decades and getting good face time on tv and keeping his name in view, and his views front and center
 
I have been to many concerts in my life

and mostly the crowd is with the singer, being that they paid good money to see them
 
but a few years ago, seeing Springsteen, all of a sudden a new kind of thing happened
 
Some(not many) yelled out- we paid our money to hear you sing, so sing and don't politic here
 when he sang his "41 shots" song.


As Billy Joel sang "We didn't start the fire"
but it takes a spark to make a fire
and as Archduke Ferdinand found out sometimes sparks come in the most unobvious of places.
 
or as George Carlin posit'd "Football vs. Baseball"
In a war, anything goes. And football is war

 :lmao: WHAT?!

Yeah, it's baseball, DUmbshit. I should have actually addressed this a few minutes ago, but I'm going to show you something from possibly one of my favorite shows of all time. Lou got all the best heartfelt stuff in that show, too. (Oh, and Lenny Clarke mentions Costas, too. Coincidence I hadn't remembered. Lol)

Costas is insufferable. He only did his little liberal anti-gun speech to prove he is one of the girls. Feminized men.

Costas is too metrosexual for football commentary anyways - he's awful even when he's not on his PC soapbox.

Today, Mr Costas tried to explain his motivations but (like most media airheads) managed to only step that much harder on his own dick.
