What fucking shit-for-brains dumbass came up with that idea?
Random sound crew: "Oh hey, Boss... this whole God thing is kinda, ya know, divisive and shit. Let's just cut it out of the anthem." Producer: "Ya know... that's fucking brilliant. I'm gonna steal that and use it to further my career. Hey boss?! Get a load of this..." Station chief Editor: "That's fucking brilliant. I'm gonna steal that and use it to further my career. Hey boss?! Get a load of this..." CEO Bob Greenblatt: "That's fucking brilliant." |

They're just so wrapped up in their own agenda that it wouldn't even cross their minds that someone wouldn't think the way they do. As for the apology, re-word "apologize to those of you who were offended" to "apologize that you were offended" and you'll be closer to the truth. |

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, with liberty and justice for all.
Seconds later, the Pledge was repeated with even more words omitted: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, with liberty and justice for all.

Somebody actually had to make a conscious decision to edit that part out, and then put in the work to do it. It's not like they just cut in late and missed that part or something.

I don't care about NBC or sports, but I still prefer the pre-1954 version of the pledge.

I actually kind of like that version better, but I'd add in the "under God" part. We are a bunch of States unified together. The "one nation" part was meant to be a symbol of the end of that sort of approach, of federalism, which is not surprising given the politics of the person who wrote the pledge. |

Nobody seems to notice that their apology also avoids any mention of "God".
Why didn't the apology say, "We apologize for omitting the 'under God' part of the Pledge of Allegiance." Instead they tiptoe around it––-still trying to avoid offending atheists. “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.”

They are testing the waters to see how far it can be taken without people going bonkers. Its only a matter of time before the word "god" is verbotin on air due to "religous" concerns. All the while we can talk about every other version of a entity or god from every other religion on earth.
NBC is showing their complete and utter true side here. |

What, you actually think that one of the major media networks would engage in an ongoing culture war against morality, Christianity, America and the right-wing? That's just crazy talk.

The way to deal with this is best through their advertisers.
NBC doesn't give a sch!t what you think, they will do whatever they damn well please. Now hit em in the wallet (advertisers pay their salaries) and they will at least feign concern. Better still, just turn the idiot box off and do something productive with your life* *like surfing ARFcom!

FUCK OBAMA, FUCK DEMOCRATS, FUCK SOCIALISTS, FUCK THE ACLU and FUCK the National Barack Channel The pledge of allegiance was originated by a socialist, explicitly to indoctrinate American children. The only reason equality and fraternity weren't included as values is because Bellamy couldn't slip them past the racial discrimination of the time. "Under God" wasn't part of the original pledge either. How does that make you feel? |

Irrelevent. That Congress "respected" a religion is all that's required. I mean, I'm pretty sure our Communist In Chief doesn't feel pressured by law to say the pledge so why should you?
If I were to say that line of the Pledge, I would be swearing a false oath, as I do not believe we are antion "under God." I do not wish to do that. |
