NBC Sports Pulls Out of SHOT Show and Plug on "Under Wild Skies"
Citing "business reasons" NBC Sports has confirmed to Variety magazine that after several years of supporting the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trades Show (SHOT), it will not be a sponsor in 2014. An NBC Sports representative told Variety "...this January we will not be sponsoring the show because it does not make business sense for us at this time." NBC Sports execs will, however, be attending SHOT to "meet with clients." Those "clients" will not include the NRA's "Under Wild Skies" - Variety also reported the network had pulled the plug on that show after host Tony Makris shot an elephant in a September 22 episode and then compared critics of the shooting to Hitler.
I'm not sure if I understand this correctly.
Has NBC (Sports) made the determination to discontinue Shooting Sports coverage because somebody shot an elephant 'on camera'?

PC rearing its ugly head?
Maybe sanity rearing it's head. Consider the made-up crap shows like "Top Shot" and the endless product-endorsement shows on cable and what do you have? Crap.
The Elmer Fudds can go back to print media, and the various competition leagues have their own communication networks.
Nothing to see here, move along please.
