ABC’s broadcast of the Knicks-Heat game on Sunday used a stock image that contained the World Trade Center, according to Awful Announcing and other recordings of the segment.
But then, a few seconds later, the screen with the Statue of Liberty and Twin Towers appeared, and it remained for at least eight seconds as a message was read about MetaQuest presenting ABC’s halftime report.Last year, Fox Sports also made an insensitive error on its “Baseball Night in America” broadcast when it placed the Yankees and Red Sox logos over the two memorial pools at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, where the North and South towers stood.
“During last night’s telecast, we used poor judgment on the use of a graphic,” a Fox Sports spokesman told Deadline in July 2022. “We sincerely apologize and regret the decision.” Game 2 of the second-round matchup between the Knicks and Heat is at the Garden on Tuesday in which New York will be looking to even the best-of-seven series.
