Dr. Russ Crawford contributed another opinion piece to the Lima News titled "Sports and Patriotism: A Long Tradition." Crawford commented on the uproar over NBC Sports' decision to omit "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance in a video insert during the U.S. Open Golf Championship.
Crawford discussed the long history of combining religion, sports, and patriotism in the United States, and opined that NBC should have known better than to leave out that particular phrase. The network editors should have known their audience.
