NBC Back Peddling Under God

Pledge of Allegiance marker on the Allegheny C...

Yes,  their video using children and the pledge of allegiance was poorly done.  In fact,  I would have to say despicable.  What is so bad is that they did not just leave out the words “under God” but they also left out “indivisible.”  Is indivisable just too hard for children to say, naugh!

I did not see the live telecast but later they played yet another montage where the video left out the words: under God, one nation, and indivisible.

Dan Hicks said,

We began our coverage of this final round just about three hours ago and when we did it was our intent to begin the coverage of this U.S. Open Championship with a feature that captured the patriotism of our national championship being held in our nation’s capital for the third time.

Regrettably, a portion of the Pledge of Allegiance that was in that feature was edited out. It was not done to upset anyone and we’d like to apologize to those of you who were offended by it.

Would you like to add your thoughts?
