No Body Cares (NBC) will not discipline Michaels for the horrible thing he said

The NoBodyCares network (NBC) will not discipline old timer broadcaster Al Michaels for saying that "the Giants are coming off a worse week than Harvey Weinstein and they're up 14 points." This  statement  by Michaels was said during the third quarter of the Sunday game against the Denver Broncos.

Supersensitive critics are saying the remark is insulting to women, and it definitely would be insulting to anyone looking to be insulted. The Political Correctness Police comes to mind. But it's somewhat understandable given the level of disgust the public has with Weinstein (not including Hollywood, who mostly knew about it).

Michael's comment triggered an immediate slew of self-righteous indignation responses from the Peanut Gallery and the 72-year-old veteran later apologized during the broadcast.

Weinstein, as you know (unless you live in Middle Earth or Afghanistan) has a long history of sexual inappropriate behavior ranging from sexual harassment to rape allegations, all of which he refers to as 'mistakes.'

"It was an inappropriate comment, and was acknowledged with an apology soon after the telecast," an NBC Sports spokesman told Fox News. 

The truth is, however, not many people heard Michaels' remark because most Americans are not watching because of the 'take a knee' controversy.

During the broadcast Michaels said that the joke was "not meant in that manner--so my apologies." Chris Collingsworth, his broadcast partner seemed uncomfortable and merely responded with "move on."

The remark was meant to illustrate how much the Giants have underperformed this season, but as far as patriotic fans are concerned, they can all go to hell.

Michaels has been a professional broadcaster since the 1960s and needs a shave most of the time.
