Why should the Twin Towers be hidden away?

ESPN broadcast’s 9/11

Nothing really to apologize for, it’s just an old video

There’s no fucking way there’s genuinely people pissed about this.
It *has* to be just people meme’ing about how old the stock footage is that ESPN/ABC used.

So it’s not okay to see the twin towers, but it is okay to refer to two big men as the twin towers?
As a Brit, you confuse me America.

man ppl are really running out of things to be outraged about aren’t they?

I thought we were to “never forget”? Twin Towers are part of our history, it should not be “bad” to show them.

People actually care about this shit?

Yes hide the past, no one can know

How the hell did that even happen 😂

What is there to to apologize for. Despite the terrible tragedy, the towers are still apart of New York. We don’t need to suddenly forget that they ever existed.

Especially shameful after they cooked the Twin Towers last series

I hope no one genuinely cares about this, but pretty hilarious that someone picked that stock footage and didn’t notice anything off
jorgelongo2
so we’re supposed to act like the world trade center didnt exist or what?
I really dont understand what they’re apologizing for
The WTC memorial museum in nyc surely has a lot of images to apologize for then!

Assuming everyone who says it’s not a big deal didn’t lose family in the Towers or live near Lower Manhattan or DC in 2001.

ESPN should be apologizing for their half time show more than some old ass footage.
SoloBurger13
I don’t think its that offensive but lets not act like its not tone deaf to still have that video 🤷🏾♀️ like why is your video 22 years old lol
PainterSuspicious798
Are we just supposed to act like those towers never existed?

I read this as they showed stock footage of planes crashing into the Twin Towers loll

I can always tell how young this sub is with the way y’all talk about 9/11.

The tips of the towers were visible for like 3 seconds. Who was mad about this

I bag on ESPN all the time but this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard and they def should not have apologized.

> Several viewers watching the broadcast took to social media to express their disapproval of the use of the footage.
So like four people on twitter

Lol its old stock footage no way people are actually mad

New Yorker here. 11 when 9/11 happened
My brother mentioned they showed it and I said “oh. Ok”
I imagine that’s how everyone feels
iguessineedanaltnow
Okay but why are they using 23+ year old stock footage?
longhorn4598
Ridiculous. No need to apologize. I see Men in Black on TV all the time and they still include the skyline shots with the Twin Towers. Why erase history? They were important symbols of prosperity and freedom. The new Freedom Tower is as well. What’s next? Censoring shots of the Alamo during Spurs games because a bunch of people died there?
ryan9699
People were upset about this??

What is the big deal about showing old stock footage

ESPN is run about as well as Waystar Royco

To be fair, the Twin Towers were still standing the last time the Knicks were a relevant playoff team

This is probably to avoid the backlash that Fox Sports caused when they showed [this](https://cdn1.thecomeback.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/94/2022/07/Screen-Shot-2022-07-16-at-9.01.38-PM-832×447.png) on the actual 9/11 memorial. Much worse to put logos on memorial than just using some dated stock footage imo
So we’re just suppose to forget the twin towers now? Can’t show a shot of them in the background? Guess we need to cancel Home Alone 2 now.
