Most of the time, they occur due to a variety of causes\u2026.including, but not limited to issues and\/or failures with the equipment, editing software, or the video editor themselves. <u>Never<\/u> do they occur in a way that it is always the same word or words that are deleted every time a technical error or technical glitch occurs\u2026.never!\u00a0 The biggest reason I believe that it was selective editing on orders from NFL Higher ups and not a technical error or technical glitch is when it was revealed that the following portion of Orlando Pace\u2019s Pro Football Hall of Fame induction speech was missing from the NFL YouTube Channel\u2019s video of the speech\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTo the St. Louis Rams fans, I\u2019m so proud to say we brought that city a championship. Thank you for the support that you gave us during that run. No one could ever take that away from you. Thank you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let me ask the NFL one little question\u2026.How can certain pieces, notably all mentions of St. Louis, be deleted from the video due to a technical error, \u00a0remove the edited version of Pace\u2019s speech and somehow replace it with the full original version? In my opinion, there is no way it can be a technical error and suddenly have the full version up a short time after taking down the original selectively edited video without going back to the original raw footage and doing editing of the video all over again.<\/p>\n<p>By the way\u2026.the video of the entire speech was not posted on the NFL YouTube Channel until they received enormous backlash from all over the country and especially from St. Louisans who were very incensed over the NFL\u2019s actions and forced the NFL to do so.<\/p>\n<p>What the NFL did was a complete violation of video editing basics 101. They used video editing techniques that you are taught not to do in your first year of college and would be surprised if they did not violate an ethics code of some kind. All this is from the standpoint of, as I said earlier, some who has been doing video and audio editing for a while now.<\/p>\n<p>But then again, it is not surprising that the NFL would do something after they played St. Louis for chumps for over a year, then absolutely trash St. Louis (via the NFL, the now LA Rams, and Stan Kroenke himself) in a VERY public way, then pull the team out of St. Louis\u2026.and then stick to their guns after all this and never apologize to St. Louis for it. I believe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.101sports.com\/writers\/randy-karraker\/\">Randy Karraker<\/a> of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.101sports.com\/\">St. Louis\u2019 101ESPN<\/a> put it best when he wrote the following in his op-ed on Sunday breaking the news about the video controversy:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I have trouble finding words for what they did here.<\/p>\n<p>We already know the league doesn\u2019t adhere to its own rules.\u00a0 Yes, they are dishonest.\u00a0 There has been no thanks or apology to the fans of St. Louis by the league since the relocation of the franchise.\u00a0 We know they\u2019re thoughtless.\u00a0 They haven\u2019t tried to stop the ruthless trolling by Kevin Demoff and the organization.\u00a0 We know they\u2019re evil.\u00a0 They did what they did to fatten their own wallets.\u00a0 We know they\u2019re greedy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But this petty act is beyond any of those. It\u2019s depraved.\u00a0 It\u2019s vicious.\u00a0 It\u2019s vile. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That a league like this, which sells itself as a family league\u2026a league of the people, which aspires to a leadership level in our country\u2026would do something as ruthless as to eliminate part of its history out of spite for a community is unconscionable.<\/p>\n<p>I already hated the NFL for what they did to me and what they did to us here in St. Louis.\u00a0 It\u2019s become quite apparent that they don\u2019t need us.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner Roger Goodell\u2019s plan is to raise the league\u2019s revenue to $25 billion a year by 2027.\u00a0 Perhaps he\u2019s on his way to reaching that goal.\u00a0 But he\u2019s going to have to do it without me, and hopefully without my town.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align:right;\">NFL Insults Orlando Pace by Removing St. Louis from Hall of Fame Speech<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:right;\">By Randy Karraker of St. Louis\u2019 101ESPN \u2013 8\/7\/2016<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2026\u2026And that\u2019s the Big B Files.\u00a0 Click on the comments link below and tell me what you think\u2026\u2026I\u2019m Bryan V.
