Bob Costas just did an anti-gun editorial during half time of Sunday Night Football

296. You missed the point

He can say whatever he likes on the air, street corner or wherever he wants. He doesn't have to answer to me. I never watch because to me football is a game played with your feet and a round ball.
Fox et al can also do what they wish with their air time, it is a free country.

My point is millions watched a sporting event last night. They did not tune in to hear a 1:33 opinion piece of which something in the neighborhood of 9 million agree with and 9 million oppose; less those refilling their beer and nachos.

So my what if is indeed a starter. The fact that he spoke on subject A instead of B does not mean he could never choose to speak on B. I would still support his 1A right, while continuing to disagree. Would you and those who support him today do the same on that day?
