Maybe NBC meant to say "One Nation Under Golf"
I didn't see NBC's opening montage for the US Open golf championship but I caught Dan Hicks' "apology" for an apparent screwup with the Pledge of Allegiance.
So naturally I was curious. It turns out the words "indivisible" and "under God" were left on the cutting room floor. Twice.
Lame. But typical.
We began our coverage of this final round just about three hours ago. When we did, it was our intent to begin our coverage of this US Open championship with a feature that captured the patriotism of our national championship, 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.
Some "apology," eh? They're not apologizing for mangling the Pledge of Allegiance; they don't even acknowledge which words were left out or that their edit matches the Harry Reid version. Nope, but if we were offended, they're sorry.
I'm glad they cleared that up.
NBC = Natural Born Communists.
