1. I get why networks don’t want to exploit a gruesome injury by showing it over and over again. And, obviously, they should not be gratuitous in showing a gruesome injury. But the reality is that the video of any hideous injury, including Cam Skattebo’s dislocated ankle from Sunday, is posted all across social media within one minute of it happening. Anybody can watch it at any time.
If a network wants to show the injury once or twice as a way to keep the audience informed of what exactly happened and treat it as a piece of news, which it is, the world won’t crumble. Viewers will survive and everyone will be able to go on with their lives.
