Beck Tears Into ‘Sanctimonious Piece of Crap’ Bob Costas for Redskins Commentary

The last time NBC sportscaster Bob Costas weighed in on an issue of national controversy during Sunday night football, he admitted it was a “mistake,” but it clearly did not deter him from doing it again, this time with the controversy over the Redskins’ team name. This latest batch of commentary did not sit well with Glenn Beck, who had some tough words for Costas and his racial awareness.

Beck suspected Costas was going “senile” and maybe “it’s time for him to be wheeled down the hallway by the nurse,” before letting loose with what he really thought.

“You sanctimonious piece of crap. Why is it that all white people think that they have to correct all of the ills of–and protect everybody else? Because everybody else is so little-childlike needs-to-be-taken-care-of. What do these arrogant people think?”

Beck and his co-hosts touted a poll showing 90 percent of Native Americans don’t consider the term to be offensive, and Costas is just the powerful white man who feels he “needs to teach the poor little Indian that you should be offended.”

Beck said this was all part of the “progressive way,” though to date there have been at least two big conservative voices (one of them a congressman) expressing their discomfort with the name.
