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

Rush has the biggest radio audience in history and @espn still fired him when he went political. #FireCostas

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

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.

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!

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

— MD Words (@MD_Willard) December 3, 2012

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

Heres a question Bob can ask himself: Do footballs score touchdowns or do players? #firecostas

@NBCSports Not that you care, but #FireCostas might be trending soon.
