Paging Bob Costas, come in Bob Costas.
NBC Sports, home to gun-control advocate Bob Costas, is sticking with
its commitment to be a sponsor of the largest U.S. gun trade show next week,
a month after a school shooting in Connecticut killed 20 children.
NBC Sports Network will remain the 2013 SHOT Show New Product Center
Sponsor, said Greg Hughes, a spokesman for the channel. Costas, one of NBC’
s marquee broadcasters, criticized gun laws weeks before the Connecticut
shooting, after the murder-suicide of a Kansas City Chiefs football player.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation Inc.’s SHOT Show last year
billed itself as “more than about selling and buying; it’s a powerful
display of industry unity and its resolve to meet any challenge affecting
the right to make, sell and own firearms.” The NSSF is headquartered in
Newtown, Connecticut, where a gunman killed 20 children and six adults in an
elementary school on Dec. 14 with a semiautomatic rifle.
NBC Sports Network, formerly called Versus, has been a sponsor of the
show for “several years,” according to Hughes. The cable channel airs
hunting and fishing shows and participates as a sponsor “as part of our
commitment to our outdoor-programming block,” he said in a phone interview.
Does Little Bobby have the stones to criticize his own network? He’s
apparently silent on this story. |
