NBC Runs A Different Pledge Of Allegiance...

((HT: Golf Channel on NBC/USGA/youtube))

There are a few things you really shouldn't do as part of a patriotic broadcast element that's your open for the last round of a golf major...

Like leave out words from the Pledge of Allegiance...

Twice...


Dan Hicks got to read the following on-air apology...
"It was our intent to begin our coverage of this U.S. Open championship with a feature that captured the patriotism of our national championship being here 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."

Broadcast fail... and the HQ wonders what, if anything, will happen to the producer that let this fly...

More if there's more...
