NBC Accused Of Editing Out Jesus Christ From NFL Star’s Interview

NBC is under scrutiny for allegedly editing out a reference to Jesus Christ from CJ Stroud’s postgame interview. Stroud, a rising star in his first NFL season, reportedly acknowledged Jesus Christ in his remarks, but this segment was seemingly omitted from the broadcast.

The incident unfolded after a record-setting performance by Stroud. When asked about the significance of the moment, Stroud responded, “First and foremost, I just want to give a glorious praise to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I mean, it’s been amazing being in this city for as short as I’ve been.”

However, viewers noted that the particular mention of Jesus Christ was not included in the version aired by NBC.

Stroud, a rookie phenom, led his team to a huge upset win over the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. He is known to always thank Jesus in his post-game interviews.

As the story develops, further details may emerge providing clarity on NBC’s editorial choices.

I wouldn’t give them an interview ever again. All he did was thank God for helping him through all adversity. He shoved nothing down anyone’s throats. You should be able to thank anyone you’re grateful for.
