[Elder of Ziyon] Bob Costas' minute of silence for the Olympics

From The Hollywood Reporter,

At the July 27 Opening Ceremony from London, Costas plans to call out the IOC for denying Israel's request for a moment of silence acknowledging the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches at the 1972 Games. On the 40th anniversary of Munich, it's a decision he finds "baffling." When the Israeli delegation enters the 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium, Costas will stage his own protest: "I intend to note that the IOC denied the request," he says, modulating his voice as if he were on the air. "Many people find that denial more than puzzling but insensitive. Here's a minute of silence right now." 

Honest Reporting comments:

An IOC-backed moment of remembrance is still the most appropriate way to mark the anniversary of the terrorist attack on Israel's athletes. After all, it's part of the Olympic history as much as any of the athletic events of that year. But if the IOC is turning a blind eye to its own legacy, having Bob Costas step in and rectify the issue in front of a massive audience of US Olympic watchers may well be the next best thing.

Who knows, maybe other members of the media will follow suit.

Here's an idea:

When the Israeli delegation enters the stadium, they should stop dead in their tracks and stand silently for exactly one minute.
