When security guard Richard Jewell became a suspect in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing during the 1996 Olympics, sports broadcaster Bob Costas was one of the few to defend him. And Costas says Jewell didn't forget.

@Carlos Arroyo No, thank you.
@Carlos Arroyo OK,thanks.I guess.
no doubt COSTAS is a good man 👍
Eastwood yelled at a chair once at a fancy dinner. Don’t forget.
@Ric Bradley what video?

Even if that was true that still wouldn’t take away that Clint Eastwood is a brilliant Director, Producer, Writor and Actor.
so many trump supporters have suddenly turned up on these news channels… bots or idiots?
@Christopher Weingart yes, it is….when I make a mistake I will be sure to let you know. I will also add this 🙄so folks will get my sarcasm.
@Carlos Arroyo why are you sending me links to mortal combat?
Austin Giguere it’s because the comments are the same old bullshit talking points that trump wants spread. If you think that it’s wrong to call people who think the amount of lying, charity stealing, corruption and general self serving schemes is ok, an idiot. Then you’re an idiot.
@Kathy Weis You made another grammatical error. I’ll believe it’s sarcasm when it’s not every post.
@Christopher Weingart nope, I checked with a language arts professor. She gave me 👍
There’s always been tendency by law enforcement, when they can’t solve a case, to shoot the messenger. That’s why so many people just “don’t want to get involved”. As far as China goes, they have an abhorrent human rights record and they can go F themselves. No one owes them an apology for pointing it out.
So true abt Law Enforcement. Better to just be truthful than to persecute an innocent person just to look good
Well I wanna play some sports too
But you know what I have to work 12 hours everyday and earn that’s equal to 2 dollars a day
So case with millions of people around the globe
All governments are a mix of democracy and socialism. Akways have been. What is killing us all is ignorance, human indifference, and economies built on arms proliferation. Humanity is pretty stupid overall. Just not me.
@David Williams The Irish potato famine, and the Protestant response to it belies your belief in basic human compassion. Protestants set up soup kitchens, but would not feed “papists”.
@Search for the truth Not gays, Homofascists. Gay means “happy”. Homofascists are self-hating/world-hating people who engage in fascist behavior because they are unable to cope with the reality of their birth-defects. They spend a good part of their existence living the lie that it is normal, and attacking others who are not complicit with the lie.
@Deborah Freedman In most situations of “oppression” of one group over another, there are typically some mitigating circumstances that, not surprisingly, left-leaning historians omit. Typically, the “oppressed” group, itself, engages in unsavory behavior. Leftists go to great lengths to control the narrative, because Marxism is rooted in the notion that those who are inferior are mostly guiltless, and those who are superior are responsible the plight of the inferior.
@David Williams wow. You’re the first bonafide nut job I’ve encountered on the web. An above average brain full of self-aggrandizing psuedo intellectual paranoid bullshit. These notions you have about biological realities you don’t understand and your clinging to the ubiquitous judgements of delusional ideology worry me. “Lefties are after your guns”? God, I hope so.
Richard Jewell will never have the opportunity to have all those nasty comments that were made about him taking back. But just as he did that day held his head up high he can hold his head up higher because he knew the truth and all I was trying to do his job save lives what a humble man.
Great interview.
So a sports commentator calling out China for human rights abuses is A-OK, but a black athlete calling attention to police brutality in the US by kneeling before a football game is a distraction. Got it.
Omegaia1 He didn’t say it was right or fair … he just called it like it unfortunately is.
Maybe the U.S. shouldn’t be heavily invested in China if they can’t respect U.S. freedom of speech.
Bob Costas has been the same age my entire life.
Funny how they never mention the name of the man who actually committed the crime. Well here it is: Eric Robert Rudolph.
Or the victim; her name was Alice Hawthorne.
@contraryMV Thank You. Rip Alice Hawthorne
Rest in peace Richard.. I’m so sorry for what was done to you but so glad that you got to be the “officer” you wanted to be. The media destroyed this man’s life period. I absolutely remember the Costas reporting were he said that about Jewell. That meant so much to him.
Rip Alice Hawthorne.
When you kill a lamb we will do nothing less than to utter her name everyday..
Funny how they never mention the name of the man who actually committed the crime. Well here it is: Eric Robert Rudolph
I didn’t realize Richard Jewell “didn’t” do it. I was really surprised after all these years to find out he really didn’t. They really did a number on him. Richard Jewell, you are a HERO! Thank you for your service! Sorry it took so long for me to find out the hero you are. I apologize.
Clint Eastwood has entered the “Im a crazy right wing uncle yelling at the TV” phase of his life.
Truly despicable what the FBI did to this man, and they still are despicable,
judging from how they tried to sabotage Trump while he was running for President.
