NBC has offered a formal apology for severing the phrase "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance during the opening feature of their broadcast of the U.S Open on June 19th, 2011.

In a letter dated June 24, 2011, 108 members of congress had expressed “serious concern” to NBC about the media giant’s glaring omission of "under God" twice from the Pledge of Allegiance. . . .

The apology was welcomed by Jay Alan Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ). Immediately after witnessing NBC's Pledge debacle, Sekulow and his team crafted a Letter of Protest, demanding that "NBC put in place a policy that ensures when the Pledge airs, so do the words,'under God'." According to Sekulow, within days "tens of thousands" signed the letter. . . .
