A Christian holiday is the most widely celebrated holiday in America, even among non-Christians. I can respect that ESPN is trying to be all 'we don't want to promote any particular religion,' but it's not like this is two minutes of Tim Tebow trying to proselytize and get people to pray. It's one line in an ad for a children's hospital and isn't that big of a deal.
And it really isn't that big of a deal that they removed it either...

By itself, it isn't a big deal, but the underlying condition of an overly sensitive population will likely become a big deal soon.

You're right. Anyone who gets too up in arms about it on either side needs to get a life. I personally find it petty but it won't keep me from watching ESPN, or any other channel that has the same policy as long as they have programming I like.
Most people will probably forget about it by tomorrow.
