Looking back at CC, had Nelvana only cut out the relationships that are considered to be "unacceptable" for children's American television, do you think Sakura x Shaoran still would've made sense?  I mean, think about it.  A big important part about Sakura x Shaoran are Sakura and Shaoran's unrequited feelings for Yukito.  Even if Nelvana left in Sakura's innocent crush on Yukito, how would they have been able to explain why Yukito rejected her?  How would they have been able to explain when Shaoran is struggling with the differences between his feelings for Yukito and the other feeling he has for Sakura?  While targeting the show more at boys does play a huge factor in cutting out all the relationships in CCS, I also personally believe that the "innocent" relationships wouldn't have made any sense had they been left in because the more controversial relationships are so important to them.
When her leathery, crow-footed face turned towards my raised hand and said, “Yes, the boy in the Sailor Mercury t-shirt,” I sprung into action. It took me a brief 20 seconds to acquire the bokken (wooden sword) I had secured to the underside of our chairs with duct tape the night previous. Shouting “Japan BANZAIII!” in the manner of those noble kamikaze pilots from the War of United States Aggression (so tactlessly referred to in your history books as “World War II”), I charged the stage, bringing down the bokken forcefully onto the plywood table in front of Tiffany Grant. It was a tragic mistake not to channel my ki correctly. The bokken splintered into a thousand pieces, leaving me with no other plan of attack besides shouting, “You’re no Asuka!” as two Ohayocon toughs escorted me out of the room-SomethingAwful.com

you have a point there, but the yukito rejecting sakura thing would be easy to explain.  there was quite an age difference between the two, so that's a possible reason.  though, how to explain syaoran's struggle with his feelings without him liking yukito has no reasonable explanation i can think of.  now that you point that out, it does seem a little better they left the relationship out, though they could have hid syaoran's blushing better or taken it out altogether.  still not a fan of the dub though.

hikari blaze...why did you bump this topic back up?!!

We have a current one going at the moment...totally unnecessary.
