RT @JPOConnor55: Bob Costas should be fired. Hank Williams Jr. was fired for publicizing his political opinions, Costas was the same thing.

(@BiasedGirl) December 03, 2012As Twitchy reported, Bob Costas hijacked Sunday Night Football with a sanctimonious anti-gun lecture. The reaction was, of course, fast and furious. It continues today.
You tune in for a football game and end up listening to Bob Costas spewing sanctimonious dreck. #Terrible bit.ly/YHnD1f—

Indeed. Twitter users are still livid and backlash is erupting. First, #CostasLogic brings the funny.
Let's just get to the point and ban death. #CostasLogic—

Bob Costas didn't make an anti-gun rant tonight. His microphone did. #CostasLogic—

I'm sure that Bob Costas height has nothing to do with his need to lord over us. #CostasLogic—

Heh. But the backlash has grown. Now some Twitter users are calling for Costas to be fired, and are highlighting the double standard.
Rush has the biggest radio audience in history and @espn still fired him when he went political. #FireCostas—

Rush Limbaugh fired by MNFootball 4 politically incorrect & Costas freely gives 2nd Amendment opinion on SNFootball?—

Hank Williams, Jr was fired for expressing political views, so what about this leftist propagandist, Bob Costas? #fairness
Fire his a**!!!—

Hank Williams was fired from Monday Night Football for insults to Obama. Bob Costas will be praised for his leftist gun control outburst.—
Dale (@TCOTvideos) December 03, 2012
No, I don't want Bob Costas fired. I think for myself. I just want fair distribution. Hire Hank Williams, Jr. back on Monday Night Football!—

The hashtag #FireCostas has taken off.
I'll calm down sometime… But I'm still mad as hell. @NRA it's time for you to step into this one also. It's why I pay my dues. #firecostas—

Costas gun argument a dogwhistle! Would he have said this about a WHITE player? #racist #FireCostas @nbc #nyc—

Dear Bob Costas, please keep your inane political rants to yourself. #firecostas—

#NBCfail's Bob Costas can't even form his opinion (which nobody wants to hear). He rips off another person to get attention. #FireCostas—

Bob Costas needs to apologize tonight for the anti-gun rant. Learn how many people protect themselves everyday with guns. #firecostas—

@NBCSports @SNFonNBC Never watching NBC affiliates again, unless Bob costas is shown the door. #fireCostas—

Stick to football Costas! #firecostas—
(@BuySellAmmo) December 03, 2012
Heres a question Bob can ask himself: Do footballs score touchdowns or do players? #firecostas—
Drew King (@APKING06) December 03, 2012
Boom!
@NBCSports Not that you care, but #FireCostas might be trending soon.—
John LaRosa (@jslconsulting) December 03, 2012
The hashtag is still going strong. Will NBC respond? Will Costas try to backpedal? Stay tuned.
Update: And #NBCFail is also emerging again.
#nbcfail #bobcostasfail It didn't take long for the left to hijack another tragedy for their own agenda. http://t.co/1IgFMA4D—
