Fans, media rip CBS for showing multiple replays of Georgia WR's horrific injury
In the first quarter of Saturday’s Cocktail Party between Georgia and Florida, Georgia freshman WR Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint suffered a gruesome leg injury.
He made a catch and got into the end zone, but as he was being tackled, his foot ended up pointing in the wrong direction and a cart was quickly brought out for him.
CBS is taking some heat for how they handled the injury. Even after announcer Brad Nessler said they probably shouldn’t show the play anymore, the crew showed it a few more times.
Fans and media thought it was a bit unnecessary to show the devastating injury that all but certainly ended Rosemy-Jacksaint’s season so many times:
Why is CBS showing multiple replays of a gruesome injury?

CBS: we shouldn’t show that injury more than once.
Also CBS: Let’s show the gruesome injury more than once to prove it’s a TD!— Belle Es You (@SouthernbeLLSU) November 7, 2020
CBS needs to work on their serious injury outro music to commercial

Shame on CBS for showing that injury about 5 times!! @CBS

CBS: we aren’t going to show the replay again due to the nature of the injury
Also CBS: replays it 800 times including the pylon cam view— Ali Hoagland Glenn (@alihoagland) November 7, 2020
Thank you to everyone at CBS Sports that made the decision that we’ve seen enough of that injury.

Shame on @CBSSports for showing multiple replays of an obviously bad injury to UGA receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. @SEC: How many years will you subject your fans to awful broadcast quality, commentators, research, and production? Fire CBS!

*Back to sports*
CBS, please stop replaying that Georgia injury. Thank you.

An apology could be coming from the network after all this backlash.
Bunch of snowflakes
I don’t think that would be considered a gruesome injury to most people!
Have these people never watched a game where a player incurs a horrific injury? I remember when Drake’s foot snapped 180 degrees against Ole Miss and CBS showed the replay on it several times. It’s just part of the game. Hope that Marcus recovers fully. That’s an injury you hate to see.
I remember them showing Tyrone prothro’s leg snapping and they showed that replay a lot.
Joe Theismann was pretty nasty. I can still see the leg flopping back and forth.
Watching Byron Leftwich play with a broken leg in that bowl games was more gruesome and he continued to play.
They showed one replay, get over it, turn the channel if you don’t want to see it.
