'Shameless,' former NBC host says of the Olympics returning to Beijing
CNN
Former NBC sportscaster Bob Costas, who has covered 12 Olympic Games as a host and commentator, did not hold back when discussing the challenges journalists will face during the Beijing Winter Olympics next month.
"The IOC deserves all of the disdain and disgust that comes their way for going back to China yet again," Costas said on CNN's "Reliable Sources" Sunday.
Costas referenced the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and the 2015 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia as examples of the International Olympic Committee's seeming disregard for the prevalence of human rights abuses when selecting host nations. But now, there's a "greater understanding of everything that China represents," he said.
