As previously noted here, NBC's announcer Bob Costas made note of the decision of the IOC not to hold a moment of silence for the 11 Israeli athletes murdered by Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Olympics-40 years earlier. However, NBC also chose to show an interview of swimmer Michael Phelps rather than allow their viewers to see a tribute to the victims of London's terror attack of 7-7-05.

At least one person (Costas) at NBC has class.

Anonymous,
The way I see it, one person at NBC (Costas) cares about anybody murdered at all.
If that is an anti-Semitic comment, I find it amazing that every one I get comes from some anonymous reader.
Yeah, well, they are there to cover the Olympics.
