Is NBC waffling on lettting sportscaster Bob Costas have his own on-air moment of silence for the Munich 11 during the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games?
According to sports blogger Ed Sherman, NBC might be. He reports:
When asked about Costas’ plan this week, NBC bounced back with a statement: "Our production plans for the Opening Ceremony are still being finalized and Bob is part of that planning."
Indeed, this is a sticky situation for NBC. If Costas goes ahead with his plan, it will put the network in the position of being critical of the IOC on an extremely sensitive issue.
