Louisville basketball player Kevin Ware's graphic broken leg injury was replayed the proper number of times during the television broadcast of Sunday's game says CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus.

"If people want to go watch the footage for whatever reason, they have a right to do so," McManus told the Associated Press on Monday.

"I just didn't think we had any obligation to be the facilitator of putting that footage back on the screen. We documented it, we described it and we showed it, and I think that was enough."

CBS showed two brief replays of Ware's grisly injury from an angle close enough to see Ware land awkwardly in the jump that led to his broken leg, but too far to see the player's blood.

CBS did not air the broken leg replay again.

"In today's world, if you want to see a piece of video instantaneously that you just saw on television, there are a million ways to do that," McManus said Monday. "I've seen statistics on the millions of views this piece of footage has had."

The sight of Kevin Ware's broken leg caused many of his teammates to fall to the floor in anguish. Several of them, including coach Rick Pitino, started to cry.

Ware had been attempting to block a shot in his team's regional finals game against Duke University when got the broken leg.

The Louisville Cardinals player, who is expected to watch his team's Final Four appearance this Saturday from the bench in Atlanta, broke his tibia bone which can been seen protruding from his leg in the replay.

CBS producers have discussed replaying the broken leg footage in subsequent Louisville games, but McManus feels that it would be gratuitous to show Ware's injury again.

"I just think that it's not necessary," he said. "It's not journalistically important that we do that now because we told the story. I think we'll move on from that footage."
