NBC cuts 'Under God' from Pledge of Allegiance at the Opening of the U.S. Open

NBC removed the words 'under God' from the Pledge of Allegiance in its leadup coverage to the U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club.

Dan Hicks said during the broadcast of the open saying:

“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.”

Since they received so much flack from its viewers, they apologized. But does it really mean they're truly sorry? What do you think?
