You have to wonder about the moral compass of the people who condense a 3-hour American football match into an hour of TV when the incident from Thursday Night Football that gets the most screen time is a crude assault.
It would have been legitimate to show a Cleveland Browns defender bashing the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback with his own helmet, which the defender had ripped off, once in live action and again as a replay.
But showing it half a dozen times with lots of pontificating steps over the border to voyeurism and rank bad taste. One stoopid assault was not what the match was about – namely that the Browns now have a team which can beat the pants off the Steelers after decades in the doldrums.
