NBC Apologizes

And they should not have! Not for airing the actual Pledge of Allegiance anyway - but airing a fucking golf game, well ...

Some ignorant assholes got really upset: NBC apologizes for cutting “under god” from Pledge of Allegiance before U.S. Open.

NBC apologized for cutting the words “under god” from the Pledge of Allegiance in its leadup to coverage to the U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club.
“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.”

Here's what they aired:

"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."

That's actually the real Pledge of Allegiance, by the way - ALL of it.
