'Ridiculous': Bob Costas talks PETA while covering Kentucky Derby

It shouldn’t have been difficult to guess which societal cause Bob Costas would work into Saturday’s Kentucky Derby coverage.

For Bob Costas and NBC to give any credence to PETA on the subject of horse racing is ridiculous.

Leave it to Bob Costas to put in a segment about PETA during the Kentucky Derby coverage.

I was going to take bets on how long it'd take for Costas to inject his lefty lunacy. Then I remembered he took PETA seriously. #KyDerby

It's not a horse race without sanctimony from Bob Costas backed by PETA's lunatic propaganda. Thanks, @NBCSports.

For @NBCSports to give the dip shits @peta any airtime during the #KentuckyDerby is a joke. Wouldn't expect anything less from Bob Costas!
