(See the VIDEO) NBC cuts “Under God” Twice in Pledge of Allegiance, U.S. Open

NBC edited out the words "under God" in the pledge of allegiance, during an opening segment it ran for the U.S. Open. School children said the pledge of allegiance with patriotic images in the background and the words were left out.

During the first version, NBC cut out the words "under God" and "indivisible". The second version cut out the words "one nation" as well.

Negative reaction from the edit was immediate from all circles.

NBC host Dan Hicks read a statement later in the coverage saying, "It was not done to upset anyone and we'd like to apologize to those of you who were offended by it."
